Do you feel it? Can you smell it dancing in the air? Can’t you hear the peaceful melody making its way around the world? Is your heart jumping with anticipation?
Christmas is a time when love seems almost touchable: when everyone seems to be drunk with a radical love. A giving love. There is an aroma of magnificent evergreen trees and scrumptious cookies filling houses with a sweet scent. Christmas is a moment during the year when you can hear songs of truth and anticipation of a coming Savior, a Redeemer, on mainstream radio stations…and people are actually singing along.
I have always adored Christmas time. It is a time of year of snuggling in your favorite chair, with your bible and journal, close to a cozy fire. And you can’t forget about your favorite Holiday drink from Starbucks! The red and white cup is easily my favorite accessory to any outfit. Christmas is a magical and enchanting season of laughter, warmth, love, traditions, family and faith.
The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~John 1:9-14
However, we can easily miss the true magic of Christmas. In order to keep myself in the right heart and mind set to truly partake and experience Christmas to the fullest I have decided to have my next blog series be: “The True Magic of Christmas”. Each week I will share where God is taking me on this journey to discover the True Magic of Christmas. Christmas is about reliving the eagerness and hope of being lost in the dark and knowing that the Light of the World will soon dwell among us. He will soon find us!!
The first post in the series will be titled “Always Winter, Never Christmas”! Keep an eye out for it! Should be posted this week!
“Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray”
Love and Blessings,
Heidi :)
