Merry CHRISTmas from my heart to yours!

I wanted to take this opportunity to say Merry CHRISTmas to all of my on-line family in Christ. I'm absent this week from on-line but I set this post in advance so that you would know that I'm thinking of you and your family. I also want to thank many of you for a year of prayers, love, support, encouragement and warmth! I truly love and appreciate you more than words can say and I pray for you often.

Family in CHRIST, I pray that as we celebrate this time of year that we remember the true reason that we celebrate--the most precious and indescribable gift, our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. How great is our God and how worthy is He to receive all of our love, praise, worship, thanksgiving and adoration! Amen!

2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV) Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

If you are here visiting and you are alone this season or grieving in some way I pray with all of my heart of compassion toward you, that in the Christ that we celebrate you will find the love, peace, joy, comfort and strength in Him that you absolutely need. Trust Him. Turn to Him. Lean on, cling to and rely on Him. He is the answer to all of our needs and He loves you with an everlasting love. You are not forgotten...

My love, prayers and warm prayer-hugs surround you as we spend time with our King and our families. The Lord bless you and keep you until we connect again. Merry CHRISTmas!

Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
