Feels Like Christmas

  
 
I'm feeling much more "Christmas-y" this year...

It's not the weather where I live because we've had a few hot and humid days in the 80's...

It's not the shopping frenzy at the mall because I'm doing most of my shopping online...

It's not the aroma from the oven because I don't bake...

Nevertheless, it feels like Christmas...

Maybe it's because we had a crowd for Thanksgiving this year to kick off the holiday spirit...

Maybe it's because I like the way my Christmas tree turned out this year...

Maybe it's because I know what gifts I want to buy...

Maybe it's because I've been watching Hallmark Christmas movies for about two weeks already...

Actually, it's none of those things. 
 
My Christmas spirit is lifted this year because way back in January I put my complete faith and trust in the Lord and I  have no doubts that He is the Lord of my life.  CLICK HERE TO READ MY TESTIMONY 
 

 
IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS...

 

...  Because when I read the Christmas story in Luke chapter 2 my heart fills with the love God bestowed on His people by sending His only Son.

... Because when I hear a Christmas carol I feel joy and can imagine the shepherds hearing stanza and verse rendered by the heavenly host about the Savior of the world.

... Because in every Christmas card I receive I think of the angel's wondrous announcement to a poor young virgin named Mary.

... Because when I see Christmas lights twinkle and shine I think of the majesty of God in heaven.


... Because when I see gifts wrapped under the Christmas tree I  know I have been blessed with the greatest gift of all...




JESUS
 IMMANUEL
 GOD WITH US.


My prayer is that Jesus is your Savior and you are
having the best Christmas season of all!
 
Merry Christmas!

  1. Hi Pamelyn! What wonderful reasons to be so happy this Christmas season! I can see why your spirits are so light :)
    I love Christmas lights, especially when it's dark outside. They seem so hopeful, like we all are, awaiting the rebirth of Jesus in our souls. How beautiful that your promise of faith and trust in God has borne such fruit in you. How great is our God?

    Have a blessed weekend, God's Christmas lover!
