Tonight was our special service for CHRISTmas. We sang carols which was quite fun even though I am not too fond of Christmas music. Then we took communion to remember the sacrifice Christ did on the Cross. As I was taking communion and listening to Pastor Terry speak I couldn't help but think," It would be so hard to sacrifice someone you love so dearly to you." I honestly couldn't say I could do it. Just thinking of this I remembered a dream I once had that broke my heart in two. My dream was that Brad was in a car wreck and Died. It felt so real, I woke up with tears streaming down my face. I couldn't stop crying. And it made me think how is it that if I was able to get so upset over a dream of the person I love dying how much more upset was God when he had to send his only son to pay the price of my sins. I thank God everyday for that such sacrifice. And it makes me tear up every time I think of the heartbreak God felt on that day. And how it wasn't just a simple dream he could wake up from, but a real situation he would have to remember every single day. I could not live with that realization. So remember when you are celebrating this Christmas that it is about Christ. Jesus is the whole reason we are celebrating. It was because the ultimate sacrifice was born on that day. The son of God, which is Christ Jesus!
