A bundle of joy!

This year, I have many friends who have or are expecting their first or second child. When they talk about this it seems to bring great joy to the conversation. Their eyes have a glow, their lips have the biggest smile and there is an anticipation of looking forward to a new life.

Over 2,000 years ago, God miraculously brought His Son into the world. Jesus didn't just appear, he came in human flesh. He was born in less than ideal circumstances, yet He is the greatest joy we ever had! During Chirstmas time, we sing "Joy to the world!" But in our hearts are we truly singing with the joy that Jesus brought. The joys of forgiveness, love, pain, hurts, and relationships that He came for. It is not too early to celebrate the joy of Jesus. For the retail stores, Christmas does not come early enough. Why wait for Christmas to be joyful? Enjoy your bundle of joy!
