So what do most of you do the day after Christmas? Is it a day spent relaxing? A day that you don't have to cook, because of leftovers? A day that is quiet because the Children are happily playing with presents? Is it a day that you can put the Holidays behind and begin again to be rested?
"Long after the angels disappear into the heavens, the shepherds return to their flocks, the magi journey home, and the great star sets, JESUS remains.
The Child in whom we rediscover God's great love for humanity becomes the adult Redeemer who challenges us to imitate His selflessness and compassion in order that we might transform our world in love.
May we allow the miracle of CHRISTmas to continue long after the holiday trappings have been packed away.
May we welcome the adult Messiah and His challenging Gospel to recreate our lives--making the peace, justice, and hope of this holy season a reality in every season of the new year." ~Author Unknown
Christmas is a Gift to us, that doesn't stop on December 26th, our Gift of Jesus continues all year around. Yes, we thank God for sending Jesus on Christmas, but are we thanking Him as much on Dec. 26 or 27th...etc.?
Praying that you are all blessed this Gifted Season, and all Year Long with the Joy and Peace of Jesus! Love, Karen

HI Karen,
That's such a great reminder...We should be thankful for our Savior's birth every day...and not just on Christmas ;) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather ;)
