So I was at the gym this morning - now, Im not the most hard core gym attender. In fact my motto is: No pain, good! I mean, really, wasnt pain given to us to let us know something is wrong? Anyway, I digress. I invited one of the ladies there to attend the womens cookie exchange tonight and send her husband to the church for the mens stupid movie night. I told her that I figure the more women I get to bring cookies to my house, the better my odds are to have a pile of cookies left over for me to eat. She laughed and told me that if I get too many cookies Ill have to hit the gym extra hard to pay for it. My response? Im a Christian pastor - I believe in consuming cookies by grace. In fact, if Im lucky, I might carry around about 15 extra pounds of grace! This Christmas, as you hustle and bustle and enjoy the holiday - can I challenge you to remember that the greatest gift ever given is just that - given. Not earned. Not paid back or worked off. Given. ...by grace you have been saved... (Ephesians 2:8) My prayer for you is that you enjoy the true meaning of Christmas and, by the way, you look good with a few extra pounds of grace!
