Merry Christmas! - 25 December 2020 - Plague Journal Day 288

Micah 6:8
Isaiah 9:1-7
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Merry Christmas to all! It's not a normal Christmas, but that only fits the rest of this abnormal year.
The thing is, it doesn't really matter what the weather is like, nor how many or few presents are under the tree (that may or may not be there), nor even how many friends and family you actually get to see in person. What really does matter is that today we celebrate with Joy and Thanksgiving the fact that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.

With that gift - the gift of Jesus, the gift of gracious forgiveness, the gift of eternal life - what else could possibly matter? Rejoice! Emmanuel! God is with us!

Hallelujah! Amen!

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
