Missing the Celebration

Since I've been back to work after spending time with my parents for Christmas, I've asked many of our patients if they had a good Christmas. Some responded with, "Did Santa get you everything you wanted for Christmas?" To which I've responded, "Yes, my parents did a great job!" One patient in particular, however, told me that she doesn't celebrate Christmas. I almost didn't know what to say in reply. Not celebrate Christmas? How incredibly sad. She is truly missing out on the greatest celebration of all time. My prayer is that she will understand the Gift of grace that came to us in the form of a helpless baby. He is truly cause for celebration!

A college friend captured well this momentous birth that we celebrate in his blog posting from Christmas Day. Please read it...and be blessed.
