In My Seat

Ever since my great-aunt, my grandma's older sister, was admitted to the hospital back in May, a sweet elderly lady named Ilona from one our sister SDA churches in the Okanagan Valley has been going to visit her on a regular basis. My grandma has become friends with Ilona and greatly appreciates her gift of spending time with Auntie Beth, who is now living in an assisted care facility, to help buoy her spirits on the days Grandma isn't able to visit.

Ilona e-mailed this video to Grandma and she forwarded it on to relatives. It sat in my inbox for about a week before I made time to watch the 15-minute video, but once I sat down to watch it, I was struck by the stunning symbolism. I think it's a perfect Christmas message. We should never forget the sacrifice that God and Jesus made for us. Thank you, Jesus, for coming to this world for me.
