The packages are all under the tree. There is excitement in the air. Christmas is almost here, but can a gift really bring you joy?  Perhaps for a moment, maybe weeks, even years in some cases. But more is needed for continuous joy!

God gave us a gift, His Son sent as a baby, a gift that lasts for eternity. It is the gift of eternal life spent with God. No dream destination can match this prize. No new car,  gadget or money can bring such comfort and joy.

During this Christmas time, receive the gift of God’s Son. It is freely given.

JOY TO THE WORLD, THE LORD HAS COME!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
