Several years ago, a cousin from Arkansas sent us a Christmas card on which was scribed the following words:
"He came to pay a debt He didn't owe
because we owed a debt we couldn't pay."
Those words struck me so deeply that I have kept them pinned on a wall picture board ever since. I am so grateful for the greatest gift our Father in Heaven has given us, His Son, our redeemer and Lord Jesus Christ, and I am forever in debt for the sacrifice Christ made in giving His life for our eternal salvation.
In celebrating the joyous event of Christ's birth, my family came over Christmas Eve for dinner and reenacting Luke II (it wasn't exactly a still, silent night in our home, but there was a sweet spirit of love and happiness).
