Christmas and the Cross
Up and down our road, Christmas light displays sparkle in the snowy dark. Some are breathtaking, obviously the result of hours and hours of loving work. One includes a cross lit with white lights. What does a cross have to do with Christmas? Oh, so very much.
From my heart to yours
The snow is deep, and the house is cozy. Time to get out the Christmas music. Handel’s Messiah is my favorite, as I can’t think of another work that so captures the glory of the Christmas story, of the entire story of God’s love for us and our need for Him. I hope you have a chance to listen to it (and perhaps sing it??) this Christmas season.
Serving our sweet Savior,
