No doubt, many memories run through our hearts and minds during this season. It is amazing how time seems to race rapidly while we feel like we are standing still. I just want to encourage you to cherish your family and loved ones. Be kind and realize that you, like them, only have one shot at life on this earth. Be kind and share a kind word. Be kind and share an unseen deed. Be kind and help carry the load for someone, if only for a few moments, so that they can catch their breath, too. Be kind and let the love of Jesus be seen in and through you. Be kind because you get no rewind, and your daily activities lead to an eternity of influence. Merry Christmas from our family to you and yours. These last 24 years and three months, we have shared many wonderful moments with significant impacts together. We are grateful for you and all we have been called to do this Christmas. As we join our hearts and hands together and stand shoulder to shoulder, may the Lord grant us wisdom in all things so that we together do all that He desires. As we gather together here and gather in our homes, I pray we are mindful of these precious moments. Hindsight typically reveals the importance and substance of these moments so remember to maximize each moment and leave a legacy of kindness. We love you all and are thankful to walk together with you!
