Immanuel: God with Us

Just three days
until Christmas Day, but actually,
it's 29 days until our Family Christmas,
in mid-January this time around!!

This month has been filled with
activities, and multiple opportunities
to love and care for others. There
have been five funerals to go to
(though we were only able to go
to three), and a dear precious friend
in the hospital suffering with ALS.

Through the good and the hard,
I'm so thankful for the greatest gift -
Immanuel: God with Us ... for His
presence and his many gifts to us
always, and during this month.

Christmas programs for grandkids,
so many precious friends and family.
A fun Christmas Party as a CityGroup.
The joy of worshipping together, each
week as a Citylight Midtown family.

Beauty and love that fills our senses,
the lights and the Christmas decor.
Time for some Christmas baking, some
Chocolate Peanut Clusters and these
loaves of Cranberry Orange Bread.
And more to come for our Family
Christmas in January.

Immanuel: God with Us ... today,
and every day. Our greatest gift!
