It won't be long before we wrap up another year and enter into what many label new beginnings in 2016. In the northern hemisphere, winter is the season of the Christmas and New Year holiday time. I'm glad for this. Winter has always been a welcome relief for me in the four seasons we experience here in West Virginia. I love the snow, the cold and the quiet that comes during winter. Walking outdoors after a new fallen snow is one of the quietest times a person can experience. The birds and other animals are typically hushed and going outside into silence is a cherished time!
As 2015 draws to a close, let us each remember the true Reason for the Christmas season: Jesus Christ. It's Christ that defines CHRISTmas and the gift of Grace and Mercy from His holy birth provides us hope in this fallen world. He is the best gift one could ever receive, won't you unwrap your personal relationship with Him today? I can promise that you will be forever changed!
In 2016, I still see hope on the horizon. There is much uncertainty in the US right now. The economy, jobs, wars and rumors of war dominate the news and often times our thoughts more than it really should. I see hope because Christ has overcome this present darkness. I've read the Book, The Bible, and He has already fought the battle and has overcome it all! This is the Good News and His Gospel of Love, Grace and Mercy is always my hope. It's easy to get distracted by all the 'noise' of our time but I encourage you to seek Him, seek His perfect will and you will find Him. While none of us knows what may lie ahead in such times of uncertainty, I know My Savior lives, He loves and He is coming again soon. Remain watchful, pray unceasingly in good times and in bad and be thankful for His gift of eternal life that awaits those who know Him.
