In this transitional time from Christmas to the New Year, there are those who are hastily removing decorations and turning of the colorful lights, while there are others who will keep all of the decorations up as they celebrate the twelve days of Christmas. No matter how you and your family celebrate this transitional time, we need to remember the importance of the birth of Jesus and what it means to Christians. The purpose of the birth of Christ was to eventually lead to his death and resurrection and thus bring to us the gift of His redemption. We dare not store Jesus away with the decorations, but instead keep him in our hearts and work at sharing his gift with others so they might also receive his redemption. You have a job to do! Share this precious gift with others. You matter!
