I am blessed to come from a close knit family, and that makes for really special holidays.  When your family comes together under one roof for any get together, it should be considered a blessing.  Life is precious, and we need to embrace these moments that will one day become a mere memory of a loved one. We have had a few holidays when not everyone was able to make it for a visit.  These holidays were not the same, but we did try to make the best of it.  We would always call our missing loved ones on that special day just to let them know we missed them and were thinking of them.  It was still really great just to hear their voices. This year, make it a point to even go out of your way( if you need to) in order to call or visit your loved ones and to let them know just how much they really mean to you. Christmas should not be based solely on who gives the most or the best gifts. You are taking Christ out of Christmas [...]]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span

The account of Jesus&#8217; birth can be found in <strong>Matthew 1:18 &#8211; 2:23 </strong>and <strong>Luke 2:1 &#8211; 24</strong></p><p
