I love this song by a group called Casting Crowns. I’ve watched them at least twice in concert. Steven Curtis Chapman, an all time favorite, helped get them started.

This song reminds me of the first catechism question I ever learned. Why are we here? To love God with our whole heart, mind and soul.

I forget this often, very often. I was just teaching my Camp Fire girls that when we go out and do things for people, it’s to bring Jesus to them. We are His hands and feet.

Today is Christmas Eve and so today I’m going to focus on being Jesus to others, instead of being upset that my husbands mother went to Disney World(long story, lots of history, too much to explain now) for the holidays or worrying about which traditions will stay or change this year.

In the end its all about Jesus. He gave his life so I could live, who does that? You just don’t see it as much as it’s needed. We have opportunities everyday to give our life for others, to make choices that help others and I don’t make the right choice nearly as much as I should. Merry Christmas Eve!

Today, for Jesus, I Give Thanks!

Here’s the song…
