"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

We just finished having the most incredible Thanksgiving! It was the first time I have cooked dinner at home in years! I was grateful to have my brother and my brother-in-law, along with our son, Jordan here for the weekend.
And now...the Christmas preparations have begun! The scurry to find the perfect gifts began at 3:30 am the morning after Thanksgiving! So tiring but so much fun! This week we will decorate our home as well as the church.
I could not wait to get out the hymn book and start doing carols as part of our worship service. Joy to the World was the first song we sang in church this morning. I love the Christmas season! What I cherish the most is that I am reminded once again that Emmanuel, God with us, came to earth as a baby and humbled Himself to be our Redemption. He is our Savior, our strong tower, our refuge, our joy...and the list goes on! If I could give anyone the perfect gift, it would be Him!
As you prepare for December 25th, try not to get caught up in the hustle, the bustle and the stress that this season can bring. Instead, focus on the One who truly is the gift that goes on and on and on!
Our prayer is that you would be blessed with all the joy and the peace of Christ!
Merry Christmas!!!
