It’s interesting that the message of the apostles recorded in Acts does not mention the birth of Jesus Christ.  Instead  they talk of His death and resurrection.  We then see some years later, with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, they wrote the story of His birth.  They tell of a birth born  miraculously beyond our understanding! God stepped into our world to say He is here!  They shared of angels, a star and even shepherds coming to worship Him.  They spoke of the humble, they spoke of praise and they spoke of peace on earth.  The story of His birth didn’t stop there – it has been told and shared and retold throughout history!

It has been only a little over a week since Christmas day, and already many are moving on to the next American holiday.  But I tell you that we as Christians, must remember that Christmas should be every day of the year.  We must continue the story – we must tell others of His salvation from His birth to His resurrection!

Let us not forget it is Christmas – for all of us every day of the year!   Merry Christmas to you for each day of 2017 – this new year with a new beginning.  And don’t forget to smile! Margi
