“Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:8

It’s Christmas Eve. My FAVORITE Day of the YEAR! Yes, there are still thing to do, but NOTHING tops the anticipation as we approach the evening when we will meet and worship our Savior together as His Church.

I was driving and listening to an old Christmas song when the words really did hit me from above. As I paid closer attention, it hit me that, with just a few word changes, it summarizes how “I” feel on Christmas eve. I came home and made those changes. Maybe they might fit how YOU feel as well.

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one with you

Merry Christmas Jesus
We’re apart that’s true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I’m Christmasing with you

Holidays are joyful
There’s always something new
But every day’s a holy day
When I’m near to you

Like the lights on my tree
I wish I could see
I wish it ev’ry day
Holy Spirit fire
Fills me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you Merry Christmas
Eternal joy, that’s true
I’ve just one wish on this Christmas eve
I wish I were with you

I hope you long for Him and His return, and that TODAY, He your greatest gift. Maranatha and Merry Christmas.

If you are in ton, we have a MOST BEAUTIFUL Christmas Eve Service at 7:00pm and then a reception back at my house for food and fellowship. Why not bring something and join us as we Celebrate our Eternal Love and Life together? I promise “HE will be there!
