Christmas is Coming....

As I prepare for Christmas, making a list of gifts to buy...
I was reminded the real meaning of Christmas...
why do we give presents...

Christmas is to remember Jesus's birthday!
He came to save us...because He loves us so much...
He gave Himself...

We love Him back and as an expression of the overflowing love through us...
We gave to others...
The heart of giving is motivated by love...
Because He first love us!

Here's a song to express it all:

WE WERE THE REASON

As little children, we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realised a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

CHORUS:
We were the reason that
He gave his life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by, we learn more about gifts
The giving of ourselves in what that means on the dark and cloudy day
Man hung crying in the rain
Because of love (x2)
Oh…..

[BRIDGE]
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

[Repeat Chorus]

He gave me a reason
He is the reason to live...

Don’t you know
Don’t you know the reason
that he gave, he gave to save us
We are the reason that he suffered & die
To a world that was lost
He gave everything, everything
Oh……live
Oh, yes he came
Jesus, I want to thank you, thank you Lord, to show us a reason to live Ah….ah…..He is the reason to LIVE!
