2008... CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF CHRIST

"IT IS NOT WHAT IS UNDER THE TREE......BUT WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS."

WE SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT NOT JUST THIS SPECIAL DAY WE CALL CHRISTMAS IS TO CELEBRATE OUR LORD, BUT EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.......FOR EVERY DAY IS HIS, AND HIS GIFT TO US.......OUR GIFT TO HIM IS TO PUT HIM FIRST IN OUR LIVES AND TO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY.

AND ALL OUR FAMILY , WITH ALL THE LOVE WE SHARE OVER THE MANY YEARS BELONG TO HIM....... FOR THEY ARE OURS TO LOVE, TO RAISE, TO SHARE WHILE WE ARE ON THE EARTH..........AND OUR WISH AND HOPE AND DESIRE, AND PRAYER IS TO BE TOGETHER WITH HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY.............WE ARE GOD'S CREATION.........HOW WONDERUL LIFE AND TIME IS...FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION TO THE RESURRECTION OF ALL MEN AND GOING FACE TO FACE WITH OUR CREATOR........ THIS LIFE IS SHORT, LIFE IS SACRED, AND ETERNITY IS OUR GOAL................................TO BE WITH OUR FAMILY AND WITH GOD AND CHRIST FOREVER. CHRISTMAS IS FAR MORE THAN SPECIAL.........................IT IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF LIFE AND ETERNITY.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL...OUR FAMILIES....OUR FRIENDS.
