Christmas Spirit

So this week has been SUPER crazy! Between my work meetings, concerts, family get together's and activities, I haven't had a chance to breath!

While at my meeting on Monday, a good friend of mine, Amanda, spoke and touched my heart. She talked about the magic of Christmas, the fun of gifts, and focused on the best gift of all, Jesus. See, I always "knew" that, I always remember to keep Christ in Christmas, talk about the birth to my kids, and sing the religious songs. But she really made it "click".

She talked about Jesus being the beginning of our everything. All of our lives go back to that day, the day He was born. For that day started His life, and we all know how awesome his life was, but His death is really the most significant. That is the day our sins were forgiven, and without Him, we would be lost souls. So as I sat there listening, I swelled up with tears and felt comforted by the information I received, and excitement that I will get to teach my kids this.

So I want to remind you of how special Christmas really is, between the lights, cookies, ham, and gifts, please take a moment to reflect, just how magical and blessed the day really is!
