Greetings

The Good News Today Is.....I have to write out Christmas cards. Ok - just kidding, that's not usually good news for me, it's a chore. I write out Christmas cards and send them because I really like getting them, and I'd feel guilty just receiving them and not giving them. This year I am going to remember how the diciples greeted others when they wrote their letters. Like this greeting in a letter to the Phillipians: "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God everytime I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy..." Phil 1:2-4. Now that's a Christmas greeting! That's where my heart should be as I am writing out my cards, not looking at my list to see if I am almost done. Reaching out to our family and friends should be a joy filled blessing for both of us.
