Remembering the HEART of Christmas

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,

“Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.

(Luke 2:11–14)

Happy Christmas, friends.

If you are grieving the loss of someone you loved, please know that I care. My husband and I have lost several friends this year.

Although we lost them long ago, we still miss our parents and siblings every year. Time does not make their absence any easier. We hold their memories dear.

I pray you’ll find comfort in sharing the holiday with someone you love, whether in person or at a distance.

My family and I send Christmas wishes for peace, love, joy, and the HEART of health to you and all those you love.
