The Miracle Of Christmas
What represents the Miracle of Christmas to you?
Is it a song – a tradition – a childhood memory – a story?

And to experience a blessed, miraculous Christmas with your families!
My Response
Back To Bethlehem
Imagine traveling Back To Bethlehem and
Experiencing the very first Christmas as if you were there!

Re-live the miracle with me!
Friendship Friday #47 – Week Of December 21, 2012
To me, the Miracle of Christmas is all about the Nativity and giving instead of getting. I talk more about that and how to help kids develop character at Christmastime in this post: http://raisingfigureskaters.com/2012/12/13/how-to-help-your-kids-develop-character-at-christmastime/. Have a blessed Christmas!
Great point Deb. Merry Christmas to you and thanks for joining us this Friendship Friday! 🙂
The miracle of Christmas is the birth of Our Lord to me. The Nativity, Blessed Mother, the Three Kings and so much more. I answered more in my Post. Thanks for the linky & have a blessed Holiday. Enjoy your weekend.
Merry Christmas to you too Dolly – thanks for joining us this weekend!
Great series of photos and inspirational post. The birth of Jesus and the grace to believe He’s Lord and Savior, is a Christmas miracle of the heart, for all.
Yes! Merry Christmas to you Diana!
Happy Holidays, Create With Joy, Thanks for hosting!
You’re so welcome Loy! Merry Christmas to you!
The miracle of Christmas is the birth of baby Jesus. Peace and Joy. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too Marcie!
The miracle of Christmas to me is “Immanuel – God with us”. It is incomprehensible to me how our Lord would give up His majesty in Heaven to take on human flesh and dwell among sinful humans. It humbles me, and nothing compares to this glorious message: Jesus loved us so much that He came and gave His life so that we might receive Him as Savior and live with Him for eternity. And that in the meantime, His Spirit lives within those who have received Him and empowers us to love Him, follow and serve Him. What a message. What a gospel. What a Savior!
Yes! Thanks for sharing the gospel with us. Merry Christmas to you Nancy!
Merry Christmas to you and all those participating in Friendship Friday!
To me the Miracle of Christmas is, of course, the birth of Jesus and what he represents to the body of faith. To me, it’s, also, the love and joy that’s shared among family and friends during this season. This is often a time that loved ones come together to continue family traditions and start new ones. Reflecting on the recent events in our country and abroad, the miracle of Christmas to me is that despite all of that has happened – we can continue to push forward, doing the work we are called to do and know that our reward is not earthly but a heavenly one. Many blessings to you and yours 🙂
Thanks for de-lurking, Michelle, and joining us for this very special Friendship Friday!
I love your thoughts on moving forward, no matter what happens.
Have a very special Christmas and a blessed New Year!
My art this week isn’t Christmas themed, so I’m not posting an image link above, but I love what people have posted! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful things you do with your blog, it is such a beautiful place to visit. Christmas for me is my mother, she really is in tune with the season and I celebrate with her and all of the joy she brings.
Thanks so much, Lisa, for sharing your lovely thoughts!
MErry Christmas to you!
God in human flesh, the perfect sacrifice for all our sins…God with us! What greater miracle? thanks for hosting & Merry Christmas to you!
Thanks for hosting! Merry Christmas! 🙂
What represents the Miracle of Christmas to me is Jesus, he is there for us in all seasons and for all reasons. Everytime I go to church I see so many miracles and blessings in lives, In my own life, I can’t begin to explain the miracles & blessings I receive but I know it has to be of Jesus.
Awesome answer Kymi – so glad you stopped by! Merry Christmas to you! 🙂
What a sweet tree and sweet gesture!
