Merry Christmas!
Remembering my husband Charles who died in 2015. Christmas was his favorite holiday.
Small but sweet as I celebrate this special time of year–the birth of Jesus Christ.
May this season be filled with joy for each of us–despite the trials of 2020. God is with us. That’s really all we need.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 NIV
P.S. Congratulations to Kathleen, winner of the greeting cards from Lisa Bogart.
My prayer for all of us is to keep our hearts and mind on the reason for this special season and celebrate the gift of Jesus who loved us enough to die for us. I pray our families will stay safe and Thank God for all our blessings which are too many to count.
“one” of my motto’s: “smile, it improves your face value.”
Merry Christmas everyone with love. Margaret

You and Charles are forever in our hearts- not just at Christmas but all year long. Wishing you an abundance of peace during this time of year as we focus on the real “reason for the season” -our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
