The best gift EVER!

-
Thank you for following my weekly devotionals this year.  It is a spiritual discipline for me to write these each week, and I appreciate that you are following my journey.

I'm looking forward to a great year with you in 2020.



As we focus on the best gift ever, 
I hope you will have a blessed day with your family!


For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.   Isaiah 9:6 King James Version (KJV)

Merry Christmas!

In John 1:4-5 it says,  “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”  There are 1
