What are you dreaming of this Christmas? Living in Texas where it rarely snows, this Christmas and every other one, I’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas. The image of a snow-covered world at this special time of the year just seems like it would make the season perfect. But beyond a white Christmas that doesn’t seem possible for me, I’m also dreaming of a world filled with peace and love. A world where everyone cares for each other and there was no more sorrow, no more pain.

Though those things will probably not happen this Christmas, I know one day they will.

Revelation 24:4 says, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

So this Christmas, what are you dreaming of? A chance to see loved ones you haven’t seen in a long time? A special gift? A white, or perhaps, warm Christmas? Whatever it is, I hope you get your wish.

Merry Christmas!
