Jesus is the Son of God and our loving Savior. He lived to teach us, and He suffered and died to save us from sin and death. Because of Him, we can be forgiven, we can overcome challenges, and we can live with God again someday.
We spend 11 months living freely in and out of right and wrong. We don't concern ourselves with the outcomes. But, the last month of the year we remind everyone that you must be good in order to receive a present on Christmas Day.
The day we celerbrate as the birth of our Savior is lost in the waiting on Santa Claus. God wants to give us the biggest gift which is Him. We waste months not seeking,studying or desiring a relationship with God. But we miss opportunities to receive all the blessing God wants us to have. We trade a life of being in His presence only to wait on temporary presents.
This tablescape is a idealistic portrait of Santa with a full sleigh of toys. It displays what we look forward to on December 25th very few of us spend that day thanking God for all our blessings and the forgiveness we have received during this year.
This tablescape reminds me to be thankful for the birth and death of my Savior Jesus Christ.it reminds me to be thankful daily the entire 12 months not just when we receive things asked for. The reason for the season is what we should be excited and waiting for not Santa. We should want everlasting life that God offers not just presents bought by Santa one day out of 12 months but His presence for eternity.
