It is Almost Christmas!

It is the season we celebrate giving gifts to our children and loved ones as we are able to. Let us remember this Holiday Season and every Christmas that first Christmas when Christ was born.
Though He received gifts from the Magi the greatest gift that Christmas night was Jesus Himself.
He came to us all in need of a healer of our wounded spirits suffering in a world pulling us down from our rightful place as children of our Creator and our home in this Wonderful God's Creation. Jesus came so we may have life more abundantly.
He came too for all those struggling more with guilt used to keep them suffering in shame so they would never see how wonderful they really are in the potentials everyone created possesses in their hearts for love, kindness, joy, happiness in a life shared with all Creation and it's loving God.
Those in His lifetime He shared His gifts with felt they were in God's own presence the Gospels record. He healed many illnesses, fed the hungry, forgave sinners and even is said to have raised people from death back to their loved ones. For this, He was abused and crucified.
Being a child of God fully vested with the Godhead though, the grave could not keep Him and He rose from the dead and was seen by many of His followers the Gospels further present. These followers bore record of what they saw, what they remembered of His life and teachings and these records compose the books of the New Testament in any Christian or Catholic Bible.
If you need spiritual comforting Jesus is still with us. He is the Invisible God we all live inside of. He is anywhere you are and everywhere you can go. He can do miracles or just provide a presence to comfort you as you go through this life with its crime, illness, wars, and deaths. He is not going to come to the rescue like Superman in the movies, even Saint Steven was stoned for preaching.
Yet Jesus did spare the adulteress a stoning by a mob. So He may spare you a stoning, protect you in a fiery furnace or lion's den or like Steven you too may be martyred. Yet Jesus gives us the promise of eternal life that can believe beyond the apparent grave too often acquainted with in these mortal lives of ours.
So this Christmas I have shared a little of the meaning of Christmas and the greatest gift of all for all of us struggling to find our way home back to Creation and our God Creator, the Heavenly Father.
