The Real Reason For The Season.

As the Christmas holiday approaches, I find it harder to write as I am starting to get homesick. The holidays were always a big deal with my family at home. Being away from them all I find myself longing for closeness and family time so I've been spending more time with my boys. Writing hasn't ever came naturally for me, a lot of the time words don't come to me. I started this blog cause I thought it would be a great way for me to get closer with my family and friends back home along with making new friends crossed the world.

The one thing I thought I'd never miss was snow. But I miss it so much. Having snowball fights and making snow angels and forts. Along with the traditions of decorating the tree with my mom and making homemade crescent rolls for each holiday. I will be sharing a tutorial on making the homemade crescent rolls on Tuesday (which will be the first post for Tutorial Tuesday). Traditions are what make Christmas easier without family around. But we can't forget the real reason for the season.

Today's sermon for church got me to thinking. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays a lot of people forget the real reason for Christmas. Christ came to earth on Christmas day so that we could be saved from our sins. Without him we could be living a life of darkness and pain. But through him coming to earth to live and sacrifice his life for us, we are made new. God is always looking for people to answer his call, to be the "one." The one to go out and proclaim that Jesus is coming.  The reason for the season! Instead of preparing for the stores and busyness of the holidays, be preparing for the being the "one" for God. Proclaim it from the mountaintops. Jesus is coming! Jesus was born for our sins. Will you be the "one" this Christmas season? Hinne! sh'lacheni! Here I am! Send me!
