CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Christmaswas so different this year, and here are my thoughts on the situation…
Christmas only works when there are people to share it with.
Christmas……… must include family and those you love.
Christmas is only Christmas when there is laughter of children and
shining eyes that go with the ripping of wrapping paper and the rustling of tissue paper.

However,
December 25th, the day representing the birth of
Christ,
can be the loveliest day when spent alone.
It can be the most spiritual as you sit in the sun with your feet up and read the story of the
Nativity,
contemplate the blessings He has given you,
and the opportunities He has opened up for you.
It can be the most peaceful as there are no phone calls, no television, no deadlines to meet and no hurried places to get to. It can be the most secure as you sit reading all the cards you have received, letting you know that you are loved and thought of and remembered with fondness.
This year was very different, but very satisfying and although I would not want to do this every Christmastime
I was so grateful to have the opportunity to contemplate the security and safety of the family I have and the knowledge that I was born of goodly parents, and
to know that I am loved and have a knowledge of the Lord’s plan,
and a family to love and remember at such a

Joyous Season

May He keep and bless you all!
