Well, it was sad to go through the Christmas season without even knowing who are children will be, but we had a good Christmas all the same. As Christmas isn't a day--it's a person!

“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.”- Isaiah 9:6

I'm so thankful for God's greatest gift of Jesus Christ and the salvation to all humanity that is found in Him. Because we are imperfect and sinful we can not approach or dwell with the perfect heavenily Father--but that Father loves us so much He provided a way for us to draw near to Him.

From the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 10--

"Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
Then I said, 'Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, O God'".

"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

"And this is what he promised us even eternal life."
--from the Book of 1 John chapter 2 verse 25

Our family's wish for all who read these words would be eternal life in heaven through Christ Jesus the Lord. Now THAT would truly be a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
