It's the most wonderful time of the year

I love Christmas. I love decorating (my apartment is finished!). I love Christmas music. I love Christmas parties. I love being with family (thank God for frequent flyer miles that allow me to go for one week during our break at CTS). I love everything about Christmas!

As this season rushes in, I also become contemplative about the "reason for the season." I love Jesus. I love that he came to earth as a man. I love that he came in the form of a vulnerable and innocent child. I love the fact that he did it so that he could relate to me, and in relating to me, save me, and be willing to spend eternity with me.

There are many reasons to love this season, but I pray that the main reason is to love Him more. To love his mercy, his grace, his sacrifice, and to share the joy that those things bring with the people around me.

Christmas
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
