Hope, Love, forgiveness, and the Promise of Life Eternal.
The Gift of Jesus, his new life and later his death and resurrection brought us all these.

A and all these I saw, today in a place I did not think I would find.

The Family of Tiffany Jonson exemplified all those quality's. They Celebrated  Her life. Her life was spent loving others. the hurting the "Unlovable'. In her death they forgave, and they all have hope that Tiffany is now in Heaven, living a better life now then we have now, for all eternity, no pain, no sorrow, no tears, only endless joy.

This is the true meaning of Christmas.

We may mourn the loss of our  friend but we rejoice with Them that They have run the race, fought the fight, and has entered into their reward. We are left behind to pick up the good fight where they left off. We are not to quit, and give up, but rather we are to redouble our efforts so that their lives will be honored not by words but by our lives. They sacrificed and gave of themselves to reach others, can we do no less?

Jesus did the same thing, He left His seat of power and glory to come down as a frail human child, to grow into man hood, to live a sinless life, to die a horrible violent death. All because he loved us, and wanted us to be able to have eternal life with him, to hang out with him. One of the friends of Philip Crouse, asked to be given a dream or a vision to let him know how Philip was doing.. He got a dream that he saw Phillip in heaven, making things out of wood with Jesus. Philip turned to him and said "I am O.K., I am learning to be carpenter from the best one in history.

This is all what Christmas is about.
