Merry Christmas!
We wanted to take a moment of your time to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. It has been wonderful to be home this Christmas with our family and friends. We wish our mission family and our world wide Church family a wonderful Christmas! As we think of Christmas may we never forget that it is because of Jesus birth that we have this season to celebrate. I hope that Jesus lives in your heart and that you know the Joy that only a personal relationship with Him can bring. If you don't know Jesus personally He is only a pray away. All that Jesus asks is that we be honest before Him. If you want Jesus in your heart all you need to do is say, "Jesus, I'm sorry for the sin in my life, please forgive me and come into my heart, I want you as my Lord and Savior."
Luke 2:15-17 "When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." (16) "So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger." (17) "When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child. . ."
My prayer for you would be, that this Christmas you would be like the shepherds. That you would find the Baby in the manger and that your life would never be the same. And like the shepherds, after you find Him, you would go out to a hurting and lost world and share what you have seen and heard.
Luke 2:20 "The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told."
So this Christmas take a moment to worship Jesus, it is because of His birth and ultimate death and resurrection that we have a hope of one day being with Him in heaven!
