As most of us settle in to celebrate the Christmas holiday with family and friends, I just wanted to take a moment and wish all of you the very best and blessed Christmas ever. For the first time in several years, I have looked at Christmas totally different. As my girls were growing I threw myself into the “shopping blitz” and tended to forget the reality of the season. This year my life has taken a different path and since my girls are grown it has made me realize that Christmas is not about the amount of money spent, nor the amount of gifts purchased, nor trying to impress friends and relatives. Christmas is about the love in your heart to share with those as Jesus Christ has shared with each of us. Christmas is about the Birth of Jesus whom God sent to show the world how much he really loves us. I thank God for His bountiful blessings upon my family over the last year. He’s answered many prayers and been most merciful toward us all. (more…)
Marcella’s Special New Year’s Message
January 3rd, 2010
Happy New Years Eve everyone. Wow, how could another year just fly by so quickly? So many wonderful things have happened this year and I am so grateful to God for each and every blessing he has sent my way. This upcoming year seems to be a mystery in a way, but I will leave it in God’s hands and accept any new challenges that will come my way. We tend to be a little skeptical this time of year because we know what the past has held but we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. One thing for certain is that if our faith is in the Lord, we know and give thanks and praise to Him for bringing us through another year knowing that only through His love and mercy and grace we are here today. We leave our Yesterdays in the safekeeping of His faithfulness and trust and have faith in Him of what tomorrow will bring. (more…)
