Experience the miracle of Christmas!

"Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to men, I bring you good news of great joy to everyone." These are the words the angels said over the hills outside of the town of Bethlehem when they announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds.  That first Christmas is the reason we live with purpose... The precious baby in the manger was proof that God loved us.  

Experiencing a meaningful Christmas is not decorating your home, buying more gifts or taking your children or grandchildren to visit Santa. It is putting Christ first, focusing on what matters most, and then sharing that love with others. 

This Christmas celebration can be a time to be still and reflect on the love that God has for us, and then find a way to share that love with others.   

Jesus is the greatest gift of all! Once that amazing love has been placed in us, (Romans 5:5) we now have full capacity to love like Christ.  It is love that allows us to look beyond ourselves and see the needs of others, and then helps us to find a way to do something for them.... just like God did for us in sending His son to save us and give us everlasting life.   

What Jesus began as a tiny baby in the manger, we get to continue.  Jesus was all about the business of His Father and that work is to be carried out in us... Sharing the love of Christ with others so they can have a personal relationship with Him.  There is no greater gift than helping people establish a vibrant relationship with God.  

Our prayer for you this Christmas is that you would experience an extraordinary and meaningful season and a significant life. Our Christmas wish is that you come to a deeper knowledge of your mission and purpose in life.  

You are an Esther! You were called to rise-up in Christ-like love, from ordinary to extraordinary "For such a time as this".  

May you be filled with the wonder of Mary, the obedience of Joseph, the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, and the peace of the Christ Child.  

With the angels we sing Glory to the New Born King!
