December of 2016 has been eventful, for sure! This is Christmas time, though, and today was really nice, warm, everyone doing well and our family together. I am sincerely grateful. To be able to return home for Christmas, my favoroite day in the whole year, and have better relationships with my wife and family members is just wonderful!
I hope that it has been the same type of day for you all. Christmas is special, afterall, because Jesus Christ is what its all about. In my family, we try to make sure this is made clear each year to our children and others. Its the best opportunity to share the gift that God gave us all...his son! What do we give to him in return? Not nearly enough, for certain! We still have great opportunities as long as there is breath in our lungs, on Christmas day and after!
There are many who are homeless and unsure where their next bit of food will come from, or if at all. We must do our part as individuals and as the church of the Lord Jesus to give our all to each one in need that God places in our paths. There is no question about it. This is our duty to God and man!
Here is the next opportunity for each of us who awake tomorrow...another chance given to spread good cheer and the gospel of Jesus Christ, the very best of all gifts men have been given throughout time!
Let the remainder of 2016 and 2017 be the time in which we make the decision to give all we can to one another and to tell as many as we can that God really does love them!
Happy 2017 my feiensa,
