Yesterday, I was thinking about Christmas and all of the surroundings that come with it, and it really gave me pause to think how blessed we are to know Christ.

We showed a video at church yesterday of man on the street interviews about what the real meaning of Christmas is. It is astonishing to know that we live in a country where “Christmas” is all around us yet many people have no idea what it is all about.

So as we spend time with friends and family and give thanks for all that God is and all that He has done, let’s remember to give thanks that He has given us the privilege to know and worship Him at this time (and every time) of year.
