Merry Christmas! {2011}

Wishing you all the Merriest Christmas and a Joyful 2012!  

May the masterful, eternal significance of life weigh on each of us in this time of celebration... 

to draw us into wonder and marveling at the God who made us and loves us so greatly...

so greatly that he would send his Son into our polluted world to rescue us

and give us Hope and Forever Life with Him.  

We hope and pray that the new year will be a time of growing deeper and stronger in knowing 

His promises and sovereignty and love.

We love you too, dear friends, 

and we're so grateful for your love for us!

Matt & Jill, Isaiah (almost 6), Marian (4.5), John (2.5) and Vivi (9 mo)
