So its now the month of December and usually every year there's only one thing that comes to mind, that being Christmas. But this year has been different in a lot of ways. As soon as the Christmas season hit, surprisingly my mind wasn't on Christmas but rather on several different things. Since I am now a freshman in college all I've been thinking about is finals.
Studying for them, praying about them and stressing over them like no other. It's consumed my mind tremendously. And on top of that seeing friends come home, brings my mind further and further away from the real reason for this season. I am constantly reminded of why we celebrate Christmas, that reason being the birth of Jesus Christ.
In the midst of buying gifts, wanting to see people, and stressing over grades we forget to spend time in thanking God for the birth of his son. Without this monumental event occurring ,our lives would be worth nothing. It's amazing how we forget the most important birthday of all. We don't even have to get him a gift on his birthday, because he's the type of father to give gifts away on his birthday. He gave us the perfect gift of all, a gift that can never break or never get old. God gave us his son, Jesus Christ, so that he may give up his life as a ransom for our sins.
Let's take time to really thank God for his son, cause without him we are nothing but worthless sinners.
