Baby Jesus!

My morning started off right with a coffee date with Jesus, I just love the time I get to spend with my Daddy-SOOO special! This morning I took my time getting ready and just really enjoyed the morning and all that it held-a promise of a new day with our Savior!Church was fantastic as we sang songs to our Lord and King and offered praises to Him for coming to this earth as a baby-a baby who would bring salvation to the lost (exciting right!). After church I went on a little drive through one of my fav little neighborhoods...Alaska! I just love going through all the streets as they are all named after familiar places to me. Today, as I reflected on the message from Pastor Manion I couldn't help but be thankful...thankful for the big and little things...Coffee to drink, a car to drive, money in the bank, this place (Michigan) that God has brought me to, and the people He has hand placed in my life-both here and back in Alaska. It brings me to tears to think of what God has saved me from and brought me through (my past is dark...broken..sad..and anything but pleasant). The same baby Jesus we celebrate in this season is the one who willingly came down to earth to save me (us). He came down as a small infant, knowing that one day He would hang from a cross..because of our sins...because He LOVES us! I am sooo thankful for baby Jesus!!! I hope this Christmas brings you to your knees as you think of the one who came down to become one of us, yet a king to all nations...to live, teach, love, and then die...for YOU! You are loved more then life itself!
