As our pastor’s sermon stretched on, my daughter grew impatient and started to talk.

“Shh,” I whispered. “I want to hear the sermon.”

Later that week, we saw our pastor while shopping. We exchanged greetings, and as we walked away, I asked my daughter, “Do you know who that was?”

“Sure,” she replied. “That was the Sermon.”

Remember, if Christmas isn’t found in your heart, you won’t find it under a tree.”

Thought for the day
“I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Luke 2:10 (NIV)

God, through his angel, tells us that embedded in Christmas is good news of such great joy that, if we believe it, we won’t be able to contain the celebration within us.

God’s good news – the joy of Christmas is based on three things: (1) God loves us; (2) God is with us; (3) God is for us. Can you hear the celebration in that?!
