It is now that time of year we begin to lift up our hearts and thank the good Lord for all that we have.  The blessings we have received and share with family and friends.  We look to the season as a time to spend with them and look forward to welcoming them into our homes and share quality time that somehow seems to disappear throughout the other times of the year. As we prepare for the season, we need to reinforce the true meaning of the Christmas holiday.  Sadly, many of our young people today do not believe and is evident in the world in which we live today.  For a lot of them, they do not attend church and don't believe in God. Talk to your families about the season.  Encourage them to attend a church of their choice.  And most of all, have them recognize what this season is about, it is about the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  May you all have a blessed holiday season.  Remember, if someone would ask you, CHRIST is the reason, for the season.  God bless you and your families this holiday season.
