The season from November 1 through January 1 is my favorite time of year. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day all fall within this two-month period. As a church we reflect on what makes us thankful. We reflect on the greatest gift of all as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. New Years Day offers a time of reflection on setting goals for the future and looking at where we have been over the past year.
During November, our home in Folkston becomes a blaze of lights as we cover the trees, shrubs, and house with Christmas lights. We usually begin decorating the day after Thanksgiving. We light up our neighborhood in honor of the light of the World – Jesus. At church we prepare special music to celebrate the season. As we look to Christmas, we look forward to celebrating Jesus’ birthday with family and friends.
I hope that this holiday season, you will focus on the important things of the season.
