The sermons are done, the Churches are ready to go, my clothes are all laid out, and in just a few hours the celebrations will begin.  Christmas services are really a blessing to me, and I have had the honor of celebrating and delivering a Christmas message for many years.

And unlike other years, after the last service tonight I will be able to come home with my family with hardly anything to do!  That’s right, there will be no assembling of ANYTHING tonight, which means I will just need to do a few logistical things before I head to bed.  And since I have an early service in the morning that means we will all be waking up early to open gifts.

The greatest gift of all however, is the one I will be talking about over these next two days.  The giving of God’s only Son Jesus is that gift!

I am posting early today 1) in light of this early evening, and 2) to encourage you to find somewhere to go and hear the story and celebrate it too!  There are plenty of good churches out there, and there will be plenty of room for you!  I hope you give it a go!  There is no better place for any of us to celebrate this wonderful miracle!

God Bless you!
