Thanks for the hug on my wall. Hope all is well with you and yours. How are you and your family? And how is your dad doing?
We'll probably spend most of our time at the nursing home with our two dads. Some friends from church came there this week to do a special program, with their 13 children, ages 15 down to 3 months. They blessed us all, including the residents, who got to listen to piano, guitar, mandoline, 17 angel voices, and a CHRISTmas gospel message, as well as hold and hug their children. Afterwards, we served them and staff (about 30) a meal by the fireplace after the residents returned to their rooms. All were blessed, with me feeling quite spoiled. We're counting our blessings, because God is so good!
Today and tomorrow we'll spend the day with the dads there, and give out gifts to the staff. We bought little candles, to which we will personalize a card: "The Light of the World...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12 For the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas!" I'll write, thanking each for their care of our loved ones, and the friendships we formed. I am looking forward to his Word going out, not returning void, and sharing the light of Christ with them.
We will also be taking some sweet breads to our neighbors, along with the same message of hope and eternity.
How will you and your family celebrate CHRISTmas? Praying you and yours are blessed!
