In the Christmas Toys series, we have discovered how the entire world orients around Christmas – as a result you see the world one way or the other – based on what you believe about Christmas…on this Christmas Eve Sunday we drop in on the Christmas event and see how others experienced it. After all, it was just an ordinary day… THEN…
We have been talking about how to really celebrate Christmas during our “Christmas Toys” series. We are
learning lessons from the Word of God and discovering that some of the classic toys that kids played with can teach us a lot about Christmas as well. Today we dare to ask the questions that can change your life – do you have a God View of the world, your life, and your purpose? Whether you know it or not, those are Christmas questions and the answers to those questions are in the Christmas story!
Christmas Toys continues this week as we creep closer and closer to Christmas morning. This is an amazing time of year when the days are Merry and Bright! Think about it, for an entire month we get to hear about Jesus in moments that, any other time of the year, we wouldn’t. What are you doing with your Merry and Bright Days of Christmas?
Today we begin our new series entitled Christmas Toys…. The expectations, the anticipation, the lists, the wishes, the décor, the giftwrap, the lights, the music, and of course…. The toys are all a part of the Christmas celebration. Each of them create an almost magical season of the year that points to one place – a stable in Bethlehem. So get ready for a fun filled, nostalgic, and essential things to remember as we celebrate Christmas once again. We begin with snowfall and starlight… the stuff of a magical Christmas night….
Believe it or not, what happens tomorrow is impacted by what we do today. Now of course, we have no idea what tomorrow might hold (but God does) so we have to willing to live each moment as the blessing from God that it is. If we see our lives as blessed and if we choose to be the blessing we are created to be, our lives become epic…heroic…and what we do in the now impacts the future. Today we come face to face with the reality and the legacy of learning to bless.
