Merry Christmas from Cornerstone MCC and Happy Birthday Jesus!

Our time of preparation and waiting is over and Christmas has arrived. What a great journey through Advent. Today is a day to be like Mary and have a heart willing to do God's will, like Joseph and a heart of mercy for someone who needs it, and like Elizabeth and a heart of encouragement for someone who is discouraged this Christmas. Hearts of compassion such as these move the very heart of the Christ Child and give glory to God.

Holiday's are filled with good and not meant to be stressful. Break that cycle of family feud by taking the high road and letting someone off the hook, be right even though you know they're wrong, and saying grace over the meal. Make it a great Christmas!

My prayer for each person reading these words is that your heart would know the love of God through the gift of Jesus. For knowing Jesus brings hope, love, joy, peace, forgiveness, grace, mercy, compassion, security, the best relationship one could ever experience and a host of other blessings.

Happy Birthday Jesus! Thank you for coming to our world and showing us God's love.

Rev Sandy, Pastor
