What an amazing
incredible year this has been. I've met so many wonderful new friends and
grown so much closer to "up and coming" best friends. God provides for
us in so many ways. Even when it seems that a particular thing in your
life, or area of it, is not going quite the way you planned, you can look
around you and see God's handy work in all of it. His promises are truly
wonderful: "I will never leave you nor forsake you," and "All things work
together for good, to those who love Him and are called according to His
purpose." |
At Christmas time everyone has
various things that they look to for memories of what this season really
means to them. Good years (visits with favorite people, great trips, and
memorable gifts), upsetting years (my ex-husband broke the news to me about
the other woman at Christmas time). But no matter what this time of year
has in your memory, the true and real reason for the holiday, is the most
wonderful and precious gift of all time. God gave His son, The Christ Child,
that we all may have an opportunity for the forgiveness of sins and Eternal
Life. How often do we really look at that gift from God and really understand
what all that means for us? First off, it's far too incredible for me to
write all it's wonders here in one letter, but I can bring up just a few
things that it has meant to me.
The gift of the Christ Child.
Aside from the greatest and most obvious gifts, life after death and forgiveness
of sins, which would take volumes and years to describe, I have a friend
that has never and will never forsake me. Even if Heaven had never been
promised to me, the joy and fulfillment that this friendship has given
to me up to this point has been worth it all.
My prayer for you this Christmas
is that you reach out and take hold of the greatest gift of all time, for
all Eternity!
God Bless you all!
