Greetings!
Our wish for you this Advent Season is that you would experience the Hope, Anticipation, and Joy of Christ. As you make your lists - think of the list that Joseph must have made, as you decorate your home - think of how God decorated the sky, as you shop - think of the wise men choosing their gifts, as you sit in traffic - think of sitting on a donkey, as you spend time with your family - think of how Jesus came, as a baby - for you. Be still and know that He is God.
Merry Christmas to you all.
