Because of Christmas...

Today, we decorated our Christmas tree... 

marking the start of my favorite time of the year.

Yet this one has new meaning.

I have never before been so thankful that God became a baby.

Tonight, I witnessed the beautiful baptism of a sweet new friend.

Mayra made a decision to follow Christ this semester...on her birthday.

Because of Christmas,

Mayra can have new life.

And, because of Christmas,

that sweet little baby I am missing so much

is very much alive.

Thank You, Jesus.

Thank You so very much.
