Share Christ Throughout the Year

The end of year is coming soon. Time has swiftly flown and the year 2005 is nearly over. All children look forward to this time of year because of the time off from school, the holiday of Christmas, and presents. Adults look forward to this time too, but this time of year can be so hectic and stressful. We might ask what does this time of year really mean. We like to share with you what we enjoy at this time.

Small children giving loose change to a bell ringer. Tired shoppers giving a smile to you. A house that may not look wonderful in the day time, but at night get ahhhs and ooohs from people driving down the street. People baking goodies and sharing their treats with everyone. A card in the mail from a friend you have not heard from in along time, writing you to remind you that they are thinking of you. People all around remembering about a small child born in the manger, so they try to be a little kinder in remembrance of him.

We remember Christ through out the year, and wouldn’t it be wonderful if the whole world could share our joy and remembrance. This time of year the whole world tries to act as Christians do throughout the year. It makes the last of the year a little nicer. Continue to share your joy and help others to see that this time of year can be in your heart always and not for just a month. Let’s continue to share the gift of Christ to everyone and may our light never come down and be put in a box. May we always shine for Him.

We love you - our family,
Karen , Kathy and the Kids
