We are spending Christmas here, with a trip to church this afternoon. My dear sister and her husband are coming tomorrow, along with my little niece. Our house has been a place of fun, excitement, and love, as we prepare ourselves for Christmas day. Yesterday evening, we were busy in the kitchen making caramel popcorn and peanut butter candy. There are a few more presents to wrap, a few more hymns to sing, a few more Bible passages to read, and a lot more praise and thanksgiving to God for this beautiful time of year to remember our precious Savior’s birth.
To you, my dear friends, I wish much happiness and love this Christmas, with an emphasis on Christ and the bond we have in our heart toward each other, in Him. O come all ye faithful, let us adore Him together.
“The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.”



I pray the same for you, my dear friend! Merry Christmas to you & yours! Love, Heather
