Just a couple of more days until Christmas and we finally finished our preparations. It certainly is not like the Philippines here in cold and windy Illinois! Yesterday when the wind chill was below zero we focused on staying warm!
Andie, Mark and their children arrived late Saturday afternoon so the house is filled with the wonderful sounds of children in anticipation of Christmas. Beth will fly in Wednesday morning to be with us for 5 days. We are blessed with a wonderful family.
As we center on the amazing birth of our Lord and savior and the love and grace of our God we are awed at all that has been done on our behalf. We pray that you and your family will have a blessed Christmas as you remember all God did for each of you.
With love through our risen Lord!
