Christmas, it's all about Jesus!

The greatest gift throughout all eternity is that God, the Father gave us His son so that we may be redeemed back to Him.

The first gift I received this Christmas season was that I passed all my subjects. Yes, I know that I had a part to play in it, but God in his grace has made it possible for me to do the necessary study and provided me with a wonderful group of supporters who have helped in in prayer and resources as I have continued the journey. Like Paul writes in his letter to the Philippians, I too will "press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained." (Phil 3:14-16)

So as I share time with friends and family over this Christmas season, I remember the prize that awaits me and I pray that I may take hold of every opportunity to give generously to all I meet the knowledge of the gift of salvation that is in Christ Jesus.
