It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Rogers family!

As December rolls around, our thoughts turn to getting ready for the Christmas holidays. When I think about Christmas, I think about all the beautiful lights we see along roadways, on the outside of homes, and twinkling in windows. I think about the true focus of Christmas when God's Light entered this world in the form of a babe and lit a path for us to follow. Following Him and his example gives joy to each day and hope for the future, even as we pass from this world into eternity. I am so thankful for that hope.

As we spend time together during the last month of this year, we think back on the celebrations we have enjoyed and the struggles we have shared. Both have given stronger bonds of love to our relationships. Both have taught us not to take each other for granted and that we are capable of giving strength to each other through words of encouragement, ministering to physical needs through acts of kindness, and lifting one another up in prayer. This is the best gift of Christmas, the gift of selflessness. May we all have a very, very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed  New Year!
