Finding Peace and Joy: The Real Meaning of Christmas
“We may sometimes need a blanket to lessen our insecurities, but if we listen, we can hear the holy command to fear. Not, and at least for a while, we can let go of our blanket as well, because we are designed for more than that and we have a God who is more powerful than that, one who cared so much for us that he sent his son to earth to show us his love. That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”
