A Confession (AND FREE DOWNLOAD)

I have a confession to make:

I've fallen prey to the pressure

of the holiday season.

I have spent countless hours focused

more on decorating than discipleship;

more on making gifts than making memories;

and more on working than worshipping.

This all dawned on me this week as I

finished printing a custom order of Christmas

cards that donned the following verse:

version you can set as your desktop image,

place on note cards, or whatever! Enjoy.

As I sat in my home office finishing these cards

I was amazed at how this verse suddenly

sent chills all over my body.

This is where it all started...

a simply prophecy fulfilled on one

starry night in Bethlehem...

with a tiny baby in a humble manger.

Seemingly obscure characters welcomed

the King of Kings and Lord of Lords

into this world to eventually save us all.

Today I say a prayer of thanks

to God for being

MY Wonderful Counselor,

MY Mighty God,

MY Everlasting Father,

MY Prince of Peace.

The miracle is that Jesus is

all these things for an entire

world of hurting, confused,

mis-focused, empty, wandering

people looking for an answer...

a Savior.  Let him be yours.

If you want to learn more about

this "Jesus thing" let me know!

And have a Merry Christmas.

May it be focused on celebrating

the beginning of it all.
