Merry Christmas from our home to your home. May God Bless you and yours throughout this Holiday Season. Always remember that the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is the ONE and ONLY reason we celebrate the Christmas Season. Christmas Thoughts Christmas is a time for "giving up" sin, bad habits, and selfish pleasures. Christmas is a time for "giving in" surrender to Christ,acceptance of Him as King. Christmas is a time for "giving out" real giving, not swapping. Anonymous Selfishness makes Christmas a burden; love makes it a delight. Anonymous The character of the Creator cannot be less than the highest He has created, and the highest is that babe born to Mary on that first Christmas morning. A. Ian Burnett: Lord of All Life There was a gift for each of us left under the tree of life 2000 years ago by Him whose birthday we celebrate today. The gift was withheld from no man. Some have left the package unclaimed. Some have accepted the gift and carry it around, but have failed to remove the wrappings and look inside to discover the hidden splendour. The packages are all alike; in each is a scroll on which is written, "All that the Father hath is thine." Take and Live!

Take Christ out of Christmas, and December becomes the bleakest and most colorless month of the year. A.F. Wells: Link MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
