FIRST CHRISTMAS

FIRST CHRISTMAS........

Santa seemed so real

Santa didn't seem so real

In a new house

With a new spouse

Without a spouse

In a new job

Without a job

In a new town

Out of town

With Cancer

Cancer free

Without a parent

Without a grandparent

As a grandparent

With a new baby

Waiting for a baby

Deployed

Home alone

After divorce

After the death of a loved one

Reunited with a loved one

With Jesus in our heart

Some of our First Christmas's are filled with happiness.  Some are filled with sadness.  All should be filled with joy. Joy that our God loved us so much that He came to earth as a tiny baby to grow and live among us. Immanuel. Joy that despite or in spite of our circumstances God loves us unconditionally, cares for us, and treasures us.   We are God's treasure, His child, His precious one. 

This Advent Season let us focus on the true First Christmas. 

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" Isaiah 9:6
