What is Christmas

Pam Weinreis • Dec 06, 2022

What is Christmas?


If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.


What is Christmas without Christ?


We remember how the story goes yet, we find ourselves


caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas preparations.

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?


The Birth Of Christ


Luke 2:1-20


Luke 2: 7-12


She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger


because there was no lodging available for them. That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby,


guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the


Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said.


“I bring great joy to all people. The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem,


the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign:


You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”


I almost tear up as I once again read what Jesus has done for you and me.


Jesus was born to bring us life.


Salvation comes no other way; no other name has been or will


be given to us by which we can be saved, only this one.


Acts 4:12


John 3:16


“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son,


so everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”


Yet, There’s the ache for those no longer here on earth. There’s the loneliness of relationships broken. The longing for peace on earth and joy.


Isn’t this the very reason the Word became human and made his home among us?


He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.


He came to seek and save the lost.


John1:14

Let us remember how the story goes.

It is all about a Savior wrapped in a manger. This is Christmas because of Jesus Christ.


Merry Christmas.

Familiar

By Pam Weinreis • 14 Apr, 2024
What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Loneliness

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Feb, 2024
Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That Is Truly Life

By Pam Weinreis • 10 Feb, 2024
Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Un-Hurry Your Life

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Jan, 2024
Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

Thanksgiving

By Pam Weinreis • 24 Nov, 2023
It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Distracted From Distractions

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

New Birth

By Pam Weinreis • 27 May, 2023
The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.
