December Already?

For someone who grew up in Montana, I’m finding it difficult to believe that the Christmas season is upon us. Christmas in Mexico has a little different flavor. They have the dancing Santas, the song, “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” (think about that one), lights, poinsettias, and even Christmas trees; but we’re still averaging 70 degrees most afternoons. To my Northern brain, 70 degrees means late summer or early fall, not Christmas.

So, even though there will be no snow here, it is still one of the most wonderful times of the year. Isaiah said it beautifully, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

May Christmas be a blessed time for you and your family as you celebrate the birth of our Wonderful Counselor, the Greatest Gift of all.
