Merry Christmas everyone. Sunday is Christmas Day, the day we celebrate Jesus’ birthday. I hope you remember that all the gifts and fun we enjoy on Christmas is just part of the reason we celebrate. The most important part is Jesus and that He came to provide a way for us to get to Heaven. He came to serve us, and we should remember to serve others. “It’s not really serving to serve only those who can serve us in return.” (Michelle Myers)

Happy birthday to my grandson, Ryan Snow, Bubba Graham, Maygen Tate, Joseph Whitehouse, Susan Coleman Pilkington, Cynthia Coleman Cochran and Beth Coleman Jones.

Please keep the families of Adrick Goodgame, Derroll Luker, and Sheila Bowman Polk in your thoughts and prayers.

My family had its Christmas get together Saturday at my daughter’s and son-in-law’s, Annette and Tommy Snow, home. All of my children were there, including Deborah and Mike Turner, Lisa and Hugh Dobbs, who live in Florida. Laura and Ricky Adams and children and grandchildren, Jeremy, Heather, & Sam Adams, Daniel, Jennifer, Asher, and Gage Adams all came. Tommy and Barbara Vaughan, Emily, Nick, and Harper Doty were there. Also, Annette and Tommy’s children, Marty and Michael Snow as well as my sister, Ann Harmon. We had a wonderful time.

Remember: The wise men were able to read the signs that Messiah had come. We must prepare our lives for His return. (Rick Burgess) and don’t forget: JESUS is the reason for the season!
