Christmastime Abundance

I hope you only got one devotional from me yesterday, but I did end up with four blog postings after all that trouble with Gmail and Blogspot. By the time I arrived at work, everything was back to normal with 'em, other than the overabundance of postings that is. Christmas is a time when we enjoy the abundant praise and worship of our Lord. We also enjoy abundance in His sovereign mercy, provision, and love. We have an easier time giving abundantly and living in the abundance of good feelings all around. Abundance abounds at Christmastime!

How does all this abounding happen though? Christmas is the season of giving, of course. We give because our Lord has given to us. The greatest gift arrived in the package of a manger long ago. We rejoice in that gift even today, and especially on Christmas Day. We celebrate that gift each time we give gifts to others. Gifts are such a part of Christmas that we sing songs about them. We may spend a bunch of money on gifts, but nothing can match God's gift of a Son born in Bethlehem.

Have a merry Christmas!
