"And we shall behold
Him.!!!" How exciting that day will be!!! As
we share together this Christmas season may we See Him who became flesh &
dwelt among men.
"Gabriel greeted
her (Mary): Good morning! You're beautiful with God's beauty, beautiful inside
and out! God be with you.!"
(Message Bible). Luke 1:27-28
How beautiful are each of us? May we use this
Christmas season to look within ourselves and see if God can use us because we
are beautiful inside & out.
Mike and I can't believe we have only been in the
States for a month. In some ways, it seems like only a few days, but when we
look at our calendar & see all we have done the past 4 weeks-- We know we
are here.
It has been a blessing to share in many churches
about the work in Zambia and we look forward to sharing with other churches in
the next 6 months of our Stateside.
Another Blessing has been the time we have had
with our children. Jesse will be in Iraq until around January 7th. Pray for
him as he ministers to our troops being a chaplain in a war zone. Use your
prayer time to pray for the soldiers who will be away from family and friends
during this Season. We have enjoyed being with Renee and Eliana (3 1/2 yrs.) as
much as possible and look forward to more time together.
Also, Tabitha, Keith & Kaden (2 yrs) are
with us right now. But they are transferring to Galena, Alaska at the first of
the year. Pray for Keith as he flies to Alaska on 28 Dec. to start work with
all the "moose & bear" (Kaden says). Tabitha & Kaden will stay with us
until the first of February before flying to meet Keith in Anchorage & then
on to their new home in Galena. I am sure they would enjoy any
visitors!!
We are enjoying our Grandkids so much, we keep
telling our kids that they will just have to live with all the things we are
teaching Kaden & Eliana. Just having fun together bonding & making
memories.
Mary replied: "Yes,
I see it now; I'm the Lord's maid, ready to serve. Let it be with me just as
you say." Luke 1:38
Have a wonderful Christmas season. May the gifts
of Love, Peace & Joy be unwrapped in each of your lives. Are you ready to
serve as Mary was? May we each say "YES" to His calling.
love & miss you all.
