Christmas chaos!

Hello everyone I hope you have had a great couple weeks so far! I apologize for not updating as often its been a crazy week! But I hope everyone is doing well! As the Christmas season draws near and as we go into the craziness I find myself wondering why am I so wrapped up in buying presents and the food and the different events? I sometimes need to remind myself that this is a holiday of remembering our Saviors birth! The one thing I really enjoy about the Christmas holiday is the Christmas story! I find it very cool that the most powerful king is coming to earth in the form of little baby in a manager that was born in a barn! Now if you have never heard of the Christmas Story I am going to post the bible verse that tells the birth of our Savior! So here it is:

Luke 2:1-20

New International Version (NIV)

The Birth of Jesus

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to himand was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
So that is the Christmas Story! So during this busy holiday season may you be reminded our savior is born! Hallelujah! Praise to the king who is coming to reign!
May you be blessed!
