You are receiving this newsletter on Christmas Day. So, Merry Christmas!

Here are two things that are more important for you to do today other than reading this blog. Do both of them if you can.

1. Engage in a meaningful conversation with one or more of the family members or friends that you are with today. Ask them to tell you about the best and the worst thing that happened to them in 2015. Ask them what hopes they have for 2016. Ask them how you can pray for them in the coming weeks.
2. Spend at least a few minutes by yourself in wonder. Reflect on the significance of what we celebrate at Christmas. Wonder at the fact that God became man, that the Creator became the creature, that Yahweh became Jesus. And then allow yourself even greater wonder that the reason God became a man was so that he could take the punishment for mankind’s sin.

Now stop reading and make the day memorable.
