Jesus was born today, but some don't know it

It's times like these that seem so unfair, that there is a great unbalance in the world somewhere. I sit here in the warm peace and quiet, just finished reading my Bible, it's Christmas morning and the glow the tree lights the living room. The tree is partly hidden by the pile of presents. I have 3 beautiful children still snuggled under their covers that will soon wake up and once again realize that today is Christmas. How great it is to be a kid at Christmas! But somewhere in the world, in our own city their are people who don't have a Christmas, they are cold, lonely and sad. They have no children and they have no Bible. How blessed we are, behind all the commotion and the stress that can come along with it, we are so blessed and fortunate to know God's love, grace, peace, mercy and forgiveness. My little 4 year old daughter knows that Christmas is about presents and toys, but when asked last night what Christmas is all about, her words were "Caring,,,,,,,and giving". What more could you ask for? We consider ourselves blessed that among all the commotion and stress of daily life God still gives us the ability to teach our kids well and He gives our children the interest and ability to learn and retail what is important. A 3 year old son who prayed for a dinosaur piggy bank at 12 noon and by dinner time he had just what he prayed for, his eyes were wide as could be and he said "Thank you thank you", they we closed our eyes and he thanked Jesus for the answer. But there are 3 year olds today that don't know Jesus was born today or that he lives, they have never prayed or have heard a prayer offered by his parents. It seems unjust and unfair. We are thankful that today our kids know who Jesus is and they pray to Him and expect an answer. That my friends is the only gift we need. Kids who know and trust Jesus. What a gift that truly is.
