Christmas Eve Carol & I were at our church. The first service was the traditional Lessons and Carols including Silent Night by Candlelight. Since I was in the choir and she was a greeter, we stayed and attended the "Collision" contemporary service together. Serving every week is something I feel called to do, but it leaves only special times like this to be able to worship together. Pastor CJ's message took an unusual twist on the story of the three wise men. In the imaginary story, because of teh sins of each of them, the gold was turned to a hammer, the frankensense to a nail, and the myrrh to a spear. The Christ child accepted these gifts and used them to ultimatley save us all from our sins. The purpose of Christmas is not the gifts we give, but the gift we receive from Him.
Christmas day and the day after we visited both of my daughters and their families. It was a lot of driving, but worth every moment spent in the car.
