Thankfulness at this time of year. - 12/16/02 04:23 AM
I realize that there is a lot of evidence in that Jesus was not born at this time of year, but, we really don't know when it was, so in my mind, one day is as good as another.
We need to take time to think about the greatest gift ever given to man.
It is so easy to let the 'spirit' of the season run away with us, and forget that this is supposed to be a season of GIVING, not getting.
Without the birth of the Messiah, there would have been no sacrifice for sin.
Let us give thanks at this time, to God our Saviour, for the 'gift' of His Son.
After all, isn't He supposed to be the reason for the season?
