Every year about this time, everyone gets focused on the secular approach to the Christmas season. The hustle bustle of shopping, the planning of social events, etc. It would be easy to forget the real meaning of the Christmas Season: "For unto you is born a savior..."
Glenda and I have spent so much time working through this transition, that we have suddenly realized that Christmas is around the next corner! Our Christmas cards are still packed away in a box that is elusive at this point. But we do want to say, Merry Christmas to everyone!
We are near two of our children, and the other is serving in Iraq. Five of our grandchildren are here in the area, and the other three are in Texas. We hope to spend Christmas with all of them, except Jimmy, who is unable to come having just been deployed. We will sing the songs, share the joy, exchange the gifts, eat the candy(!). But I just don't want to forget to celebrate the joy of sins forgiven, healing purchased, peace granted, and love manifested all because of the coming of Jesus Christ!
Keep your focus on Jesus! Let this be the best of the Christmas season in your family.
Please remember us as you pray that the effective door of ministry will be open to us as we navigate into the promising new year.
Blessings to you!
Carry On!
