Merry Christmas








On this Friday before Christmas, I am
praying everyone is filled with the joy
of it and it's meaning.




Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
and bear a Son, and they shall call
His name Immanuel, which is translated,
"God with us."
Matthew 1:23








Jesus came to bring to us the presence of God.
We are called to share this with others. Jesus
made that clear when He said, "As the father
has sent Me, I also send you." (John 20:21)
Let our lives reflect God in us, when we do
this we can be different from the world and 
this difference can bless others with His 
transforming presence of His Love and 
Grace.



His Spirit fill my hungering soul,
His power all my life control,
My deepest prayer, my highest goal,
That I may be like Jesus.
--Chisholm

Let us give the gift of His presence in us
to the world. Let His light shine today in
our hearts and actions.




Have a Very Merry and Christ filled,
Christmas!
