Christmas Memories

There is something about this time of year that makes me reminisce about my childhood. It doesn’t take much to travel through time to those days of childhood and engage the senses in a way that makes me feel as if I am there.

I can smell the cookies baking. I can feel the cold air sneaking under the door and through the gaps in the window. I can hear the Christmas carols being played on the piano by my Dad. I can see the fire in the corner that my little brother David just started.

WAIT! We don’t have a fire place! What was he thinking?

As I think back about the traditions we had as kids growing up the one I cherish the most is the fact that my parents always kept us focused on the reason for the season, Jesus. I hope that each of you will know the reason in a person way this season. Let me know if you have any questions about how to know Jesus in this way.
