I want to wish everyone who takes the time to read my musings here in the electronic sphere a very Blessed Christmas to you, your family and friends.

As the day draws near I hope that each of you will keep the true meaning of our celebration in your hearts.  

As we look around at the changes taking place in our country and society it is easy to feel that we are loosing all that is good and that has brought us peace and prosperity in the past.

All of these things pale in comparison to the gift that was given us so long ago and that we celebrate each year at this time to give thanks to God for taking away the burden of sin that we all suffer.

So celebrate with family and friends.  Give gifts to loved ones and hopefully to strangers that we have never met.  Most of all let your hearts be filled with the joy at the birth of one who brings a gift that only God can give.

Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours.
