To All of You

From my family to yours, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! In the midst of the presents and the yummy food, may we remember what we are celebrating: God giving up everything in the glory of Heaven to come to earth in the form of a baby.

He gave up riches to become poor. He had a feed box for a cradle--swaddling clothes for coverage.

He knew exactly what would come as a result of His birth--His death thirty-three years later on Calvary.

But He came anyway.

Take comfort from that. And enjoy the day with your family and friends!

God bless.
