MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This is the first Christmas either of us has been away from home … or as we’ve decided, “home” just has a new definition now. This year that means no snow or mistletoe, and dearly missed kin, but what a gift to still be sharing it with family here. Harold & Coni made it home (without needing surgery!) on Saturday, so we resumed the celebrations.

Today’s festivities included a Christmas Day service where Jason delivered the morning message, a baptism at the lake, card games and dominoes, a true feast compliments of Coni’s creativity and the electricity lasting long enough to finish cooking it, and even a few surprise gifts!

Merry Christmas, everyone. Know you are loved and missed …

MARRY CHRISTMAS to you both...hope and wish...after your world tour...do something for those unfortunate people in the world who could not celebrate Christmas or any other festival due to hunger, poverty...atleast try to bring smile on one of those faces...and thats the true celebration of God's glory and a true worship to God. Enjoy your vacation...God bless you both

Good encouragement, friend. But ponder this ... all hunger is not for food, and all poverty is not financial.
