The Christmas Story is very endearing to us. We immortalize it with nativity scenes and mangers and stables and plays, but in reality it was very chaotic and unsuspecting at the same time.

From Luke 2:21-40. As kids, we get impatient waiting for Christmas. It seems like the longest night of the year is Christmas Eve, waiting for all the fun and presents the following morning. In Luke 2, we are introduced to two people -- Simeon and Anna -- who were both waiting for Christmas, but for very significant reasons. They teach us that all of us have the same spiritual longing. We are all Waiting for Christmas.

We use the word "Blessing" quite often in church. WE almost use it so much, we lose the significance. Some blessings are good, while others may not feel so pleasant. Some come to teach us or refine us. And, other blessings come to us just because we know Christ. In Romans 5, Paul notes 5 vital blessings for knowing Christ for which we can be eternally grateful
