Reason for the Season, Reason to Live.

This time of year is always a reflective time of the past year, and anticipation to the next. It would be very easy to look back at this year and be down-right depressed: I was forced to resign from my dream job, I'm unemployed, my cars keep breaking down, the ups and downs of relationships, the usual struggles with attitudes on life or self-confidence, and the struggles of trying to live a God-centered life in a self-centered world. Honestly, there are some days that are down-right hard to face, and I wouldn't except for God. That is why Christmas is so special to me; the gift of Christ has made life worth living, no matter whatever happens to me. God can overcome any problem in the world, and He can overlook any weakness in my own life and have fellowship with a sinner like me. I hope you have the joy of Christ in your life everyday, and that joy overflows this holiday season.
