Thank God!

It’s only 13 days until we celebrate Christmas!

And this verse so aptly states what we celebrate. The whole world changed with the birth of baby Jesus. God came to earth humbly, as the child of a carpenter. Not the son of a king, born in a palace, but the son of God, born in a stable. From those humble beginnings, he did indeed give us victory over sin and death. Hallelujah and merry Christmas!

Thank you Lord Jesus, for your willingness to come to earth and live with us. Thank you for suffering on the cross as a sacrifice to cleanse us from our sins. During this season, keep our thoughts on you and let us thank and praise you.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.

  1. From that quiet beginning, everything truly did change. The child in the stable became the Savior who bore our sin and conquered the grave. As Scripture says, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). May that truth steady our hearts this season and keep our celebration centered on the gift that made all other hope possible.
