Do you ever think back to when you were a child and how everything seemed so easy then. I know I do. In the summer- time momma could never get us to the supper table because we wanted to play outside as long as we could. On Sunday afternoon, daddy would go to the grocery store and buy a half a gallon of ice cream and make us milk shakes and it was so good. Old memories are so special to make us remember to make memories with our loved ones.

Dec. 24 and 25 are two days that families will spend time together, eat lots of good food and open gifts that someone has brought for you. Let us focus first on the greatest gift of all, God’s loving gift of salvation given to all who will personally receive it. The best gift God’s Gift – his only son!
