Long time no see! (Christmas is almost here!)

As a children's Pastor I teach Launch Pad (Preschool age)on Sunday and I lead several chapels during the week for the children based on age. This month I'm teaching them about Our wonderful Saviors birth And the verse for this week is Isaiah 9:6a And This Sunday It's the rest of this verse part b.

Isaiah 9:6a For to us a child is born to us a son is given

Isaiah 9:6b His name shall be called Wonderful, The mighty God, The Prince of Peace.

Christmas has always been my favorite season of the year since both my bithday and my brothers birthday are this month. I love setting up the tree, drinking egg nog, eating all those Christmas goodies, singing Christmas carols, and giving and recieving gifts. But I've noticed if we're not careful we can let this wonderful season pass us by with all the hustle and bustle that surrounds it. Let's look at the verses above and think about what they mean. That a Child was born a Son was given He was born into this world to take our sins and give us a relationship with Him. With out Jesus we'd go to hell literally! His name is Wonderful, He's sooo wonderful isn't He? The Mighty God, Nothing is impossible for Him He is able to handle ALL of life problems! The Prince of Peace, He gives us peace not like the world talks about and hopes for but peace the surpasses understanding we can be calm in the midst of chaos! So I chalenge all who read this to look upon the one who was a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, the King of Kings Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ "The reason for the season!"
