Remember

My friends, thank you all for the encouragement and well wishes this holiday season. I hope you all have a beautiful Christmas celebrating what's truly important this time of year. As you gather with family and friends to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ my hope is that in all the excitement and hubbub of this time you will remember that there are those in your communities who do not have anyone to celebrate this time with. My hope is that you will find a way to make at least one of them feel special, loved and wanted. Remember, Christmas is about the love that God has for His creation. It's a sign of God's grace in the birth of the Savior. For God has taken the first step toward reconciliation with humanity in the birth of the Christ. May the peace of God rest upon you this Christmas season. Amen.
