Merry Christmas to All!

We are heading home to St. Louis for the Christmas holiday. Presents are (almost) packed, sweaters have been found, and the pet sitter has been called in. I'm almost giddy about seeing my breath in the air for the first time; finally, I will know it's Christmas!

During the rush of buying presents, plane tickets and wool socks, I've found it easy to disregard the real meaning of Christmas - simply that we should celebrate the birth of Jesus and the promises that He brought with Him.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Have a wonderful Christmas and a promising New Year.

Love,
Michelle
