Merry Christmas 2017

Dear Family and Brethren,

Merry Christmas to you all!

Having been in so many brinks in my journey, but saved by the grace and mercy of Jesus, and now living in the bonus years God gave me, I hope you don’t mind my sharing below how I feel in seasons like this beyond the cliches.

Yes, it is always such a very joyful day to reflect, knowing that we celebrate the uneventful entrance of our Lord into our world, on that silent night in Bethlehem, in a shack, in a manger, witnessed by the least and the ordinary. And, now being made aware that - all of us - the sinful men and women of the world, we are the reason for Christmas, I am ever grateful!

I am thankful God sent the BEST of Heaven to rescue the WORST of the world, like me and everyone, as the Bible says - the world. He didn’t have to. But He did, because of His unyielding Love. I am glad He did come. Now, I and all of us who welcome Him, accept and receive His salvation to have an intimate relationship with Him - our Father, we are secured. We are rescued from eternal death.

We’re not anymore alone. He is with and in us. We have help. His comfort and peace covers us. He saved us by His gift of grace. He leads us. His goodness and mercy follow us to the house of the Lord, forever.

Now, we have Christmas to celebrate! And, as we celebrate-

“May all of us be filled with the wonder of Mary, the obedience of Joseph, the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the determination of the magi, and the peace of the Christ child Jesus, Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit bless us all now and forever.”

In Jesus Name. AMEN!

Lovingly,

Felix, Mae & Family
