As I reflect on the past year during this Christmas season, I find myself more and more filled with gratitude, awe and wonder at the multiplicity of blessings that have poured down abundantly upon us. We are surrounded by caring loved ones and friends who are earnestly seeking to become as Christ showed us. Amidst the many wonderful traditions and seasonal festivities, may we pause long enough to cherish those of most worth. Our Father has prepared a plan wherein we can return unto Him and partake in all that He wants to offer us. Pivotal to that plan is His only begotten Son, even Jesus the Christ. Let us find joy in honoring and serving the Father through Him throughout this Christmas season and the coming year.
Thank you all for your friendship, help and support and for making this past year the best ever and let us look forward together to a wonderful 2015!
