During the Christmas season,
our thoughts turn to the
source of joy and hope born
in a humble manger on a holy
night more than 2,000 years
ago. Each year, Christians
everywhere celebrate this
single life that changed the
world and continues to
change hearts today. The
simple and inspiring story
of the birth of Jesus fills
our souls with gratitude for
the many blessings in our
lives and promises that
God's purpose is justice and
His plan is peace.
At this special time of
year, we give thanks for
Christ's message of love and
mercy, and we are reminded
of our responsibility to
serve. |
