Dear Friends,
Some of you finished your Christmas shopping months ago. Some have not begun. Christmas is a week away and if we look closely enough we will see the greatest gift ever given... For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son. So make your preparations, wrap your gifts, cook the feast and do not forget to embrace the promise and celebrate the love of God entering this world.
Blessings,
JD+
