Christmas Eve

It is Christmas Eve and I am counting my blessings. I am blessed to be surrounded by loving, caring people. The surround me at work, at church and in my home. I sometimes complain and whine but the reality is that I have it good. Real good. I have a job where I actually get paid to help people. How many people get the awesome opportunity to get paid for their passion? I have the three most awesome children in the world. They inspire me and motivate me to be a better person day after day. My friends are my greatest cheerleaders and companions. The material things I just take for granted, like a nice house, heat, plenty of food and luxuries of every kind. But on this Christmas Eve I am humbled as I think about Jesus' birth. The birth of a person who has made all my blessings pale by comparison. Jesus Christ, Savior of the World. And Jesus is my savior, mine! Nothing I did earned this and nothing I do can keep it. This truly blows my mind. So as you share the holidays with your family, don't forget that yep we are celebrating a birth that gives us life and hope of forever. Merry Christmas All.
