For several years I have written down Christmas memories, prayers that God has answered, family get-togethers that enriched our lives, holiday meals that were blessed, the true gifts of the season.
This has become a tradition for me, to write these things down, not necessarily for myself but for my children in years to come.
Every year the item that tops my list? Family. My children, husband, my parents, who shared so many Christmas days with us.
Praise God for His wonderful gifts, His Son, His love, His provision-now and forever.
Each year as I review these memories I am drawn closer to Him because I see His work in my life and in the lives of loved ones.
Merry Christmas, blessed peace to all of you who call upon Him for salvation.

Your question is heartwarming. What I remember from this past year that I am giving thanks for this Christmas is....my wife, my kids, my family....this last year we went on a long awaited vacation to the Grand Canyon....We built family memories that will long outlast the credit card debt...
I met this new co-worker and every day for several days I would ask him in passing How are you? More or less as a greeting.....his constant answer is "Better than I deserve"---Aren't we all?
We are soo thankful that we have a Good God, who is still on the Throne, despite the condition of the world....I'd better quit typing....My Hope is Built on Nothing Less,
Than Jesus Blood and Righteousness
Merry Christmas to all, and may those of you who do not yet call upon Him for salvation, I pray you do not leave this world in that condition.

I am an ex Christian but I am still thankful for many things. Like the smaller things in life like my granddaughters [I've no grandson yet] . I like the season and when I do not have to go out I like watching the snow come down so softly and so lovely. I love and always did and always will love the little things in life. religion never took that away from me. I got the radio on and they are playing a variety of Xmas music .
Thank God for giving us the rhythm to move to music.

Yes, it is really a cool thing to do. Well i thank God for graduation from a good university, for a course in translation, for a course in two levels of French Language. There r many many great things to thank God for, but those i consider to be precious.
Good Luck!!

I consider hes simply being nice for the reason that the truth that hes apart of the membership , its normal for men and ladies to invite within the occasion that they could have not begun one other;s cellphone volume, maybe he plans on contacting you, there is also a sight inclination that he admires you, do not rush it you'll be able to appreciate while he really likes you, simply be pleasant once more who is aware of what could occur in gods apartment, god bless

The real meaning of Christmas:
We read in God's Holy Law-Book the Bible in Isaiah 42:5-9 Thus saith God JAHWEH, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: I JAHWEH have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am JAHWEH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

I think it is good that you are taking time to look at all Christ has done, We all should, Without Christ not one of us would stand a chance, because of our sins.
