We just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
This season reminds me of the
hope we have in Jesus Christ. I know many have
experienced difficult and uncertain days this past year, and no
doubt this coming year is
approaching with its own share of uncertainties as well.
Yet, in the midst of uncertainties there is a ray of Hope shining
through in the absolute
truth and certainty of who Jesus Christ is as Savior and Lord!
I am reminded of Psalm 33:10-11
"The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations."
And the purpose of God's
heart is that each and every one of us would come to know
Him and to walk in the truth of His Word that sets us free and
gives eternal life with Him.
The angel declared that wonderful night of Christ's Birth:
"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause
great joy for all the
people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
he is the
Messiah, the Lord." (Luke 2:10-12)
This has been a very good
full year for us and we have enjoyed seeing the hand of God
work in so many ways. Our children and their spouses have been a
wonderful blessing
to us as they have spent many weekends at our house. It has been
rewarding to see
those who I have mentored over the past few years moving forward
and starting families
and new ministries that are touching the lives of other for
Christ.
Thank you for being a part of our lives. You are special to us
and we treasure
knowing you. God bless!
