Christmas Doesn’t End
There is a hymn titled “In the Bleak Midwinter” — a Christmas hymn that makes me think of mid-January weather. Even though you’ve probably taken down the Christmas decorations, do you still have Christmas in your heart? Do you still think about Jesus lying in a stable, surrounded by Mary and Joseph, and the shepherds? The hymn ends with the writer giving Jesus the only gift she has, her heart.
Remembering this wonderful gift of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer, will brighten the bleakest January day! As we think about the gift of salvation, let us also think of those who have not yet heard of Christ and His love.
As Lutheran Women in Mission, we joyfully proclaim Christ, support missions, and equip women to honor God by serving others. In the spirit of Christmas, share this gift of salvation with your neighbor, friend, or someone who hasn’t heard the Good News — the greatest gift of all!
God bless your new year!
