"For God so loved the world that He gave His one & only Son," (John 3:16) As you celebrate Christmas this year, with family & friends, & as you exchange gifts with each other, don't lose sight of the greatest gift of all, God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Don't lose sight of the love God has shown us. Don't lose sight of what you're actually celebrating!

"Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart and it is with His love that all celebration starts. We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth and thank God for sending His only Son to earth. His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill where He faithfully followed His Father’s perfect will. He freely laid down everything so that we could live, and there is no greater treasure anyone could give. Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost. So each time that we give we remember what He’s done and honor the perfect Gift —God’s one and only Son." Holley Gerth

Wishing you a peaceful & joyous Christmas, & every blessing for the new year! "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" 2 Cor 9:15
