Merry Christmas!

Once again, Christmas has come. For a godless society, we really do make a fuss about Christmas don’t we? If only people truly understood the meaning of Christmas! I’m not decrying the commercialism, or advocating the blacklisting of Santa, but it would be nice if people truly understood what they were celebrating.

Aren’t you glad that it truly isn’t only the good children who receive presents on Christmas morning? Imagine if that had been God’s plan – That first Christmas Gift on that first Christmas morning was only intended for the good boys and girls. We’d all be out of luck!

Once again, Merry Christmas

Luke 2

Craziness!

We heard last night that the sellers of the house we are considering buying had decided that they may want to reconsider, and postpone making a move until the new year. This did not make us happy. However, as we considered it, we realized that if we at least knew one way or the other, we would be able to plan. Maybe we wouldn't be able to be in the new house for Christmas, but maybe the Lord had a better house out there. I actually had peace either way. As I understand it, they wanted to take a day to think about it and consider their options. This crisis had been precipitated by their inablility to get financing for a new house, since they currently had a house to sell. They took their day, and today, we found out that they do still want to proceed with the sale and will close as soon as we have financing! Whose bright idea was it to buy a house and move during the Christms? Please pray that we will be able to get everything done, and that things will continue to go without a hitch!
