December 24, 2017 Sunday Christmas Eve #Thebestgift

Get Faith
Hebrews 13:15-16 "Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.  And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."  The gifts we need to share with everyone are love, caring, laughter and compassion.  It makes our God happy to see us do these things.  That is why He gave us the gift of His Son Jesus the Christ, so we can live happy lives knowing we are forgiven and will have eternal life with Him.  Merry Christmas.

On this day
2002  Christmas Eve,  I spent the day cleaning and preparing and cooking.  Mom, Andy and Alice, Lindsey, Merri and Brian came over for dinner.  Nicole would have been 17,  things and times change every year, you just have to go with it, make the best of each situation, bring some joy into the day and remember - to thank God for our Saviour.  Jesus is the reason for the season. 

1828 - William Burke who, with his partner William Hare, dug up the dead and murdered to sell the corpses for dissection, went on trial in Edinburgh. haha  only the Scots would make this news available and have it happen on Christmas Eve.  Let's look at the bright side, perhaps some great medical advances were made?  

Greenland Christmas
It is traditional on Christmas night that the men look after the women, serving their food and coffee and stirring the meal for them. Games follow the Christmas meal, including one in which an object is passed from hand to hand round a long table under the cloth. It is supposed to be repulsive: round, clammy and rough in texture; such as a frozen egg, wrapped in strips of wet fox fur!  Who wants to play?    Lol

Enjoy the day!  Make it Memorable!  Merry Christmas & happy Birthday to Pastor Julie!
