GOD'S GIFT!
One night in Bethlehem, a heavenly host of angels appeared and announced the birth of Jesus to a group of lowly shepherds. One would think by this passage of scripture that only the Israelites were aware of his birth, but they were not. Long before he was born, the prophets spoke of His coming and prophesied throughout the Middle East and Asia. As a result the wise men came from afar to present their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

What greater gift can we receive for Christmas than the gift of Eternal Life? And by faith, it can be ours if we put our trust in Christ. May your season end with a new beginning and may the love of God encompass you throughout this coming year.
Sincerely in His love,
Sam
