After Thanksgiving we will be turning our attention to the upcoming celebration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s birthday on December 25th. The greatest gift to mankind was God’s son Jesus Christ. I hope Jesus doesn’t get lost in the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping of gifts for your loved ones this year. He’s never forgotten us so let’s honor Him on this day by not forgetting the ultimate sacrifices He made so we could be forgiven of our sins. No clue do I have as to why He loves us so unconditionally He just does.

As we grow older, we start to lose those loved ones that have been around us for so many years and that hurts doesn’t it? If they chose Jesus as their Savior, they are having a ball I would imagine in heaven with Jesus. Nothing to be worried about there. The old adage we should live each day as if it were our last is so true. None of us know when our lives will be over here but we know that we should be found doing for and seeking the Lord in whatever we say and do if we’re called to our heavenly home.

Some upcoming birthdays for the month of December: Bula Arnold, Wanda Byford, Joy Hullet, Clyde Nokes, Carol Gunter, Paul Stanley, and Jesus Christ.

Wedding anniversaries: Ray and Joann Braswell, and Rex and Sepal Pedigo.

A birthday party for Clyde Nokes will be on December 14th at his son, Bill’s place. Clyde will turn 91 on December 13th.

Have a great day!

I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. Isaiah 42:16
