Con: Oh, yeah! First we got up at 4:00am and helped our church deliver Christmas gifts to needy children. Then we met our friends for a prayer breakfast. Then we opened presents, had a great meal and gave thanks to God for the ultimate gift of His son, Jesus Christ.
Nim: I got a rubber hamburger that squeaks when I bite it.
Here's hoping everyone had a safe and wonderful Christmas!
This Christmas…
Instead of just making a list of the things you want…
Make a list of the things you’re grateful that God has given you already! #grownupchristmaslist #gratitude #grateful #blessed #christmaslist
Con explains to Nim why there was no room at the inn for Joseph and Mary. #nativity #manger #jesus #reasonfortheseason #keepchristinchristmas #prayerpups
Nim’s newest scheme is setting up God’s Hotline, but we already have that. It’s called prayer. #pray #prayer #jesuschrist #sonofgod #iamachristian #warroom
Nim: I think God needs a hotline!
Con: How do you see that working?
Nim: First we set up a voicemail system.
Phone: You've reached the 24 hour Hotline To Heaven. If this is an emergency, please drop down to your knees and start praying immediately.
Nim: Then we collect info to redirect the calls.
Phone: Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed because of Christ's saving grace. For health issues, press 1... For marriage, press 2...
Con: I don't like this idea.
Nim: Wait! You haven't heard about the sponsorship opportunities.
We each already have our own personal "Hotline to Heaven." It's called prayer.
Nim: Can you imagine how awesome it was 2,000 years ago to learn that Jesus was actually born?
Nim: All of mankind had waited on Messiah for centuries and suddenly...He was with us. That's what His name means..."God with us."
Nim: The air must have smelled sweeter. The sun's light must have been brighter. Every living creature on earth must have felt an urge to bend its knee and bow its head.
Abby: That was beautiful. But just have one question: Who are you and what have you done with Nim?
God "Being with us" was so hard to imagine that even John the Baptist needed confirmation.
