"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16, King James Version, KJV) Amen.

Good morning and welcome to the day after, on this Wednesday, December 26, 2018. I bring you greetings from The Home Office where quite literally I am still nursing a few season incurred aches and pains. The positives far outway the problems. There is no doubt about that. Mrs. Claus and I are anticipating some recovery time and maybe an out of town trip. Not sure yet, but, we are thinking about thinking about it. The weather appears to have some ominous iffiness to it, but, we will weigh all the factors and make a decision accordingly. In the midst of all our busyness, we did not forget the Christ of Christmas. As our pastor said at our Christmas Eve service in commenting on John 3:16, "The greatest God gave, (so loved), the greatest Gift, (His only Son), providing the opportunity, (whosoever), for the greatest Decision, (believeth), that leads to the greatest Life, (everlasting)." (my paraphrase) At our family gathering, the wife read a couple of her mom's poems about Christmas. One was about the anticipation of Christmas Day and the other was a neat retelling of the reality of the meaning of Jesus being born. In our family prayers, we emphasized God's provision to us. Therefore, we leave the season behind us, but, we continue to be thankful to the One who sustains us. Have a great rest of the day and may God continue to bless each one. Amen. ....More later.
