News You Can Use...The Apopka Update

Dear Friends, 
The Christmas season is here! What a joyous time of year to share special moments with family, friends, colleagues and strangers!  A smile, a wave, a card to a long-lost friend, a lovingly prepared meal with family, and prayer for someone in need or our soldiers abroad. There are so many ways to give a gift that won't cost a thing.

In the spirit of the season, I wanted to share with you some wonderful quotes I've found. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 

"Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect." Oren Arnold

"What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace." Agnes M. Pahro

May God bless you and your family this holiday season and in the coming year.
