Scripture to Live By:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:16-18
Well, Christmas Eve is finally here and the children have only one more day to wait. Our house looks like we are ready to celebrate. We have looked forward to this day with great anticipation.
We are enjoying being together with our family and celebrating with them our Lord and Savior’s birth. Knowing the purpose for which He came is a matter of abundant life for us now and forever. He came to redeem us from the slave market of sin.
Every year the meaning of Christmas grows dearer to me. It is truly a privilege to ring those bells and to light the Christmas tree knowing that Jesus really is the King who was born for you and me.
So come on in and see how we decorate to celebrate His birthday.
With our family of 22 we will Celebrate with love in our hearts for each other and especially Love for our Lord.
Come Let US Adore Him Christ the LORD
Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew 1:23
