Merry Christmas/Blessed New Year to all

Hello Everyone
 
Christmas is the birth of our Lord and it’s a very special holiday because we witness God’s love every day and He gives us the strength to challenge life whether it’s good or bad.  Life is truly a gift; a new beginning and Christmas reminds us of His love and forgiveness that He so graciously gives to us on our journey to still stand even through the storms.
 
We know life gets busy but if you can, take some quality time and just say “Thank You” because without our Creator, nothing is possible.  We’re about to start a new year and we all need guidance and His divine mercy.  Let’s ask God to continue to guide us and help us to be better people so that we can serve and make a difference in the world.  Enjoy the holidays and know that the Board wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Amen
 
If you don’t celebrate Christmas, let’s still find time to enjoy these days.

Christmas Poem

Christmas is a holiday all about love each day
To give, to receive and to thank God in a very special way
 
Our lives are so busy at times that we tend to stray away
Let’s not lose the reason for the season because it’s all about serving and to obey
 
We all are unique, and we all have something to give and live for
Let’s never give up but always trust God like never before
 
Situations on our journey can sometimes bring us down
But we still have a purpose through it all so just listen to the sound
 
The sound that reminds us that God is always holding our hand
Through everything that we go through because He has a plan
 
We experience trials and tribulations so that we all can grow
Let’s not get distracted or depressed because we always have to know
 
That God has us in the palm of His hands
He cares a great deal for us and will always help us to stand
 
So, whatever you have on your plate that’s difficult to get through
Just look up to God and allow Him to work through you
 
This is what Christmas is all about so enjoy the rest of the year
Because each day is a blessing because the time is near
 
We don’t know what tomorrow may bring so let’s be respectful in everything we do
So that we can have joy and peace because God loves you.

Thanks and Amen
