Ephesians 5:20 "Give thanks to God the Father always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Every year during this season I seem to spend a little more time reflecting on the things I am most thankful for.
Family, friends, and health, all come to mind very quickly. Then the "reason for the season", Jesus Christ, takes His rightful place as Number One in my mind and heart.
All it takes is remembering what James said, "You are a vapor that appears briefly and then vanishes." (4:14). The right thinking then becomes anchored and I recall Paul's words in Ephesians, "May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith, and may charity be the root and foundation of your life. Thus you will be able to grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love, and experience this love which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may attain to the fullness of God Himself." (3:17-19). To me this is God's essential message to His followers.
Have a blessed, joyous and Merry Christmas.
May God bless you and your family.
