Gift Exchange

Gifts

Gifts have become such a major aspect of Christmas

And what you think of gifts has two extremes…

Either you only care about what you get and Christmas is all about Santa Claus and what you want want want…

OR

Gifts in your mind is evil and "Oh my goodness. Gifts? I don't want any gifts! Gifts during Christmas just takes away from the real reason, Jesus Christ being born."

WELL

How about we take a happy medium and recognize that 

Jesus was God's gift to us on Christmas morning!

Personally, the best gift of all was Jesus being born as a man.

So why do we have to be completely against giving and receiving gifts?

We don't! 

Lets instead enjoy getting and receiving gifts while recognizing that 

Christmas' first gift was Christ being born!

My friends and I enjoyed a gift exchange last night.

We had such an amazing time all begin together showing each other how much we love one another with simple (mostly homemade) gifts!

Enjoy :)

"Listen to the angels
Rejoicing e'er so sweetly
Receiving heaven's glory
The night that Christ was born

Oh such a wonderful savior
To be born in a manger
So that I can share His favor
And my heart be made anew"

My Rock

~ My Rock ~

I absolutely adore and love Jesus Christ! 

Jesus has saved me from eternal death by dying and shedding his blood to cover my sin. 

By doing this I am able to be in right standing with God and able to be in relationship with Him.

I say that Jesus is my rock because He is the reason I live. My all-time always and forever main hunger is for Christ!

Fortunately God created such a beautiful world. And you know what? We get to enjoy it! 

I think 

that is a huge misconception of who "Christians" are and how they act. People think we can't enjoy life, but really it's the opposite. 

I enjoy life so much and have so much joy because of the truths I know about Jesus and the sacrifice He made. 

Amazing right? 

All in all this is the reason I will have segments about my Hunger for Christ! I will leave you with a verse:

Romans 5:8-9

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!
