Merry Christmas

We want to take the time to wish our family and friends a Merry Christmas. We look at this season as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and know that he is the reason for the season. However, it goes much deeper than that because we are very blessed this Christmas. This is the first year in many years that we will have the opportunity to spend with my sister, nieces and her boyfriend. This is honestly a long time coming and that is just one of the many blessings we have this Christmas. Other than the gift of Jesus, we have the gift of our son Brandon. This is his first Christmas and we could not feel more blessed to have him as our son. He may be too small to understand that it is Christmas but we are blessed beyond words to have Brandon here and with us.

We realize that every gift and blessing comes from above and there have been so many this year, including our marriage, the birth of our son, and just realizing the simple things in life.

James 1:17 says "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." Even when we struggle with change we know it is for the best and that it can somehow turn around into a gift from God.

We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Let us put our focus on Jesus as he is the reason for the season and he is the gift there for all of us to receive the gift of salvation!!
