There is just a little (or a whole

lot actually!) something special

about our holidays together.  Our family

has a bond and a knowledge of something

greater than most do.  Like some families,

we unfortunately know what it's like to

really struggle through something ~

continuously without any clue

how or when it's going to end. 

BUT my family also knows what it's like

to experience a miracle. 

Some families have never experienced

the true reality of a miracle. 

We couldn't be more thankful to God...

for MOST OF ALL the miracle of Jesus Christ.

But also for the miracles He

 performs on Earth ...

"Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy

which will be to all people.  Unto you is born

this day a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

Luke 2:11

 I guess "Johnny Flash", our Elf, reported

good things back to Santa because

Merry Christmas, Sweet Loves!!!

May you always know and be thankful

for all that you have...most of all,

a family who loves you dearly!

My prayer for the three of you is that

you will KNOW and BELIEVE that Jesus

is the reason for the season...

AND the reason for everything

all the year through.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift

is from above, coming down from the

Father of lights with whom there is

no variation or shadow due to change."

James 1:17
