We have enjoyed another incredibly blessed and wonderful
Christmas. It is indeed “the Best of Days.” We celebrate the birth and gift of
our lord and savior Jesus Christ; the son of God, Emmanuel. Our individual and
collective celebrations take on many forms and it is so much bigger than a
single day. It is a season; a continuing season that we still embrace, enjoy
and cherish even as I write this blog. The Hallelujah Chorus, the card in the
mail box, the trimming of the tree, Santa and the “Merry Christmas Greeting” accompanied
with smile from a stranger are all equal parts. We give freely in every way and
the joy is in seeing the happiness on the face of those we give to. Such a
reward and treasure are these and countless other things of this immaculate
time of year. The word; priceless is the only response to these moments to
which we are immeasurably thankful. Among the greatest pleasures of life is
Christmas. It has been so for generations and will continue without end.

Trimming trees
Children praying on
their knees
Gifts and giving
Ancient ways
Christmas is the Best
of Days
This particular Christmas Season; regretfully has had many
sad notes. Our hearts go out to all as we pray for God to grant the strength,
heart, character and faith to endure their terrible misfortunes. The sorrows
and losses to befall so many this year seem unbearable. A better day is coming
and their spirits will be renewed.
Thank you Christmas!
This year we needed you even more!
