Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Over 2000 years ago, there was a woman named Mary and a man named Joseph who were traveling to Bethlehem on a camel. Mary was pregnant, and they were both poor. They stopped at several inns to get a room for the night but all the inns were booked and there were no vacancies especially for two poor people who had to money for a room. They were finally able to get room in a stable next to animals of all kind. It was then that Mary went into labor and would give birth to the Son of Man, the Lamb of God, the Christ, the Messiah, and his name would be Jesus. Wise men, shepherds, and angels came from every direction to worship and adore this wonderful child. Gifts of gold, frankenscence and myrrh were placed at his feet as gifts to him and his family. Jesus would be the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth. He would be the bridge for mankind to walk across to get into heavan and receive eternal life.

This is why we give gifts at Christmas time. Jesus gave the ultimate sacrifice of his life so that we might have the gift of salvation. We give each other gifts to remind each other of the gift that Jesus gave to us all.  So many people celebrate Christmas without knowing or understanding this fact. Christmas is truly a holiday for Christians, followers of Christ, though the salvation of man is extended to all who believe in him. So don’t get caught up in all the gift giving and commercial frenzy that Christmas has become. Simply remember that Jesus was the ultimate gift and He is the Reason For the Season. Merry Christmas!

Jesus Saves…..Again

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Jesus saved us all once, but can you believe He is saving us again? But not from sin this time, that’s already been done. This time Jesus is saving us money with these discounted prices every day. If you don’t think that the Almighty is involved in the price slashing that is going on, think again. Companies like Medifast, Macys, Wal-Mart, Target, Toys ‘R Us, Amazon, and more are all slashing prices and we are benefiting from it greatly. I’m sure a number of people are in fact wondering how they are going to make Christmas happen this year, but there is no need to worry now. There are so many great deals to be had this holiday season, that you should still be able to do even a little something for Christmas this year. If you have a big family and lots of people to give gifts to, try to the White Elephant gift game. Google it for the rules, but it’s great for big families.

Also, if you don’t want to do White Elephant, you could always to Secret Santa. Either way, every person only has to buy one gift, which saves the entire family time and money. So this year, look for the best deals and the best gift giving scheme to save yourself and everyone else time and money. Again, companies like Medifast, JCPenny, Kohls, and more are selling items a big discounts so take advantage while you can.

Don’t Be Lukewarm For Christ or Savings

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Have you ever heard the saying “Lukewarm for Christ”? Well if you haven’t it means that you are in the middle between being a full-fledged believer and a non-believer. You cannot be lukewarm for Christ: either you are hot for Christ or cold for Christ. And let me tell you, you don’t want to be cold for Christ. We celebrate him this holiday season for being the ultimate sacrifice for mankind. It is because of the gift of salvation that he gives us that we exchange gifts on Christmas; it is a way of reminding us all of the ultimate price he paid for our sins. So as we go forth in the season to buy gifts for the ones that we love, remember that now is the time to be saving money. The idea of saving money should not be taken lightly. You may not want to do the work that it requires to get the best deals, but it is worth the time. Collections Etc. for example is one of the best places to find Christmas gifts for less thatn $14.99.

You’d never know about Collections Etc, though if you didn’t do a little research. We have checked into them thoroughly and have found quite a few things to be excited about. Check out their website and discover all the great deals that they have to offer. And what’s more, they aren’t the only website on the internet like this, so take the time to do a little research and be Hot for Savings like you are Hot for Christ!
