The season of Christmas, I believe, calls for us to make a response. As we do so, we follow in the tradition of those who witnessed the first Christmas.
The angels sang praise with words of peace.
The shepherds, after hearing about the birth, went with haste to see the Christ-child.
Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
The Wise Men brought their gifts.
The question for each of us is: What is my response to Christmas? How shall I respond to this child born some 2,000 years ago in another part of the world?
On Christmas Eve, I will focus on the response of those who came to see this child in the manger. Then, on December 28, we join in singing songs of praise to God.
What kind of a response will you make to this great birth in history!
Peace and joy,
Pastor Marty Pauschke

I am going to ponder the importance of relationship with Jesus and other select people in my life. How it all adds to the richness of a meaningful life.
