Christmas Adam at my aunt's house.
‘Twas
two weeks before Christmas Adam…
Since
Adam came before Eve my Aunt Emily declared December 23 to be Christmas
Adam. On that night she was able
to invite all of her loved ones over.
Most people did not have a conflict with another engagement on that date.

What wonderful memories. God has blessed us with every good and perfect gift from above. And on top of that He has saved us from His wrath to come. Jesus came to earth to pay for our sins. If we believe in Him we will live with Him forever. Joy to the world, Jesus, our Savior, has come and He is coming again.
Here is one of the Christmas card creations by artist and friend Jim Bornzin.
It reflects the Joy in Jesus that came to the earth and is coming back again.

Hello sister in the Lord. I am a Pastor from Mumbai, India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privileged and honored to get connected with you as well as know you and your husband Chris. The spirit of Christmas makes every one to celebrate the birth of Jesus. I am blessed to see your family. Your wonderful memories of God's blessings and the confession down below your family picture is a beautiful description of who you are in Christ. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 38 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have your grand children come if they are in their latter teens to work with us during their vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends. Wishing you a blessed and a joyous Christmas season as well as a bright and a Christ centered coming New year 2018. I did come to Spokane number of times and spoke in Nazarene Churches. God willing I will be again coming to the United States and if possible to Spokane again. Would love to visit you.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you again. So glad for your work in Mumbai. Merry Christmas to you and a very Happy 2018 if the Lord tarries.
