Romans 14:17 NASB "for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."There's more to it! Today's Word tells us that the kingdom of God isn't about eating and drinking but about so much more! I watched as the little ones opened their presents, I watched as we shared a meal together but I also saw the joy on the faces of family as we gathered to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sure the party atmosphere was wonderful but we can't forget the reason for the season and that is the fact that Jesus came to bring us righteousness, peace and the joy found only in Him. As we pick up the pieces of torn wrapping paper, may we realize that Jesus can take our broken and torn life and put is back together so that we may rejoice in His Birth. I challenge each of us to live His Birth, not only this day but everyday and find the peace of Christ in our lives! peace, tom
