Merry Christmas!

Another year is drawing rapidly to a close. Our family is winding up the year with preparations to send our two oldest children on a mission trip overseas. While I admit that it is difficult to let them go, even for a short season, I am excited about all that the Lord has in store for them and the eye opening adventure that awaits!! The organisation they are going with is very strict and regimented. The young people are trained to work hard, study the scriptures, learn new building skills, work together as a team and outreach to others through puppetry, singing, evangelism and love.

While our Christmas day may look a little different this year, and we will miss our big people terribly, I can't help but marvel at the goodness of God as I watch Him work out His plan in the hearts and lives of our family. I love how He is opening the eyes of our children to the needs of the world around them and using them, in a small way, to bring His love and goodness to others.

May the Lord Bless you and your family this Christmas.

Enjoy!
