Why The Nativity?

Why The Nativity?

I have been reading a book by David Jeremiah called Why the Nativity? I have plenty of books about Christmas and wasn’t expecting to learn so much. In truth, I learned more about Christmas, the heart of it, in this small book than in all of my 41 years of life. It asked, and answered, questions I didn’t even realize I was missing. The kids even read through the short chapters as Bible time this month. That good, and surprisingly something I picked up off a sale rack a few years ago. This year I hope to follow the directive of this author, “staying busy with the work of Heaven.”

Living by default? No thanks

My friend shared a insightful quote  …

“Our lives are a reflection of our conscious choices. When we do not choose, we live by default”  an excerpt from One Day My Soul Will Fly by Iyanla Vanzant.

Too many times we  live by default. God created us for something greater than that. Be inspired to choose today.
