Jesus: In Love, He came to teach the world |
|
In Peace, He walked the earth
|
|
In Hope, He gave us all a chance to choose a second birth
|
|
|
In Joy, He used his holiness to be our Christ and Lord
|
|
|
|
In Spirit, He is forever near to be our true reward

May you, your families and all your loved ones have a most Blessed Christmas!
