By the way, this Christmas there are a lot of firsts for me: 1. long daylight hours, 2. Caroling in sandals and shorts, & 3. 80 F weather. (Sorry, just had to mention that!)
Merry Christmas,

It's Christmas Time!
I was asked the other day what the word Christmas means. My answer: "it means Christ Mass or the Mass of Christ." I then did a little research and learned it is associated with the celebration of the Lord's Supper. I am struck at how we celebrate the birth of Christ with a word that goes right to the heart of the mission of Christ...to give his life as a ransom for us. He came to bring fulfillment to life and connection back to the Father! May you be blessed this Christmas with the realization that Jesus loves you. I don't know about you, but that gives me hope and a reason to celebrate!!!

Really love the statement you make "I am struck at how we celebrate the birth of Christ with a word that goes right to the heart of the mission of Christ...to give his life as a ransom for us." We are the reason for the season!
