"In His name the nations will put their hope."
Matthew 12:21
On Christmas Day, we celebrate the hope of salvation, made possible because He came.
Into a dark world, He came.
And because He came, those who receive Him have hope and joy and love...
in the midst of darkness, in the midst of sickness, in the midst of sadness, in the midst of brokenness.
Because He came.
"And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at His birth."
Luke 1:14

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!I especially love the ones showing interactions...the kiss atop the nephew's head, the father and son-in-law chat, course the food looks so good. Oh, and don't look now, but you have a granddaughter growing up right before your eyes. How lovely! Love the joy on Bekah's face with her new music books. I have the one of those myself. Must dig it out. Keep on sparkling!
