As we approach Christmas Day (4 days!!!!) my prayer for you and your children is that you experience the presence of God in a new way this season. Recently I was reminded of the awesomeness of the God we serve when I witnessed the funeral of 3 children who were taken suddenly from their family two weeks ago. A tragedy that could have turned into despair and an inward focus on loss was turned into an outward display of God's goodness and faithfulness. One of the kids recently told his grandfather that he was going to change the world in one day. With over 4,000 people attending and watching the funeral online, I think he did just that. So listening to their lives unfold, and hearing the stories that have come about from the aftermath of their death, I was reminded of how BIG and AWESOME our God really is! We are such a tiny part of His plan yet He chose to come to earth as a baby to live among us, showing and teaching us so many things. And if that's not enough, He took our sins and punishment so that we could have life.
Now that's something to celebrate. May you get even just a glimpse of that this Christmas!
