Rossy's very first snowfall. God really gave us a beautiful snow for Christmas. Rossy said, "Yes, God did this for me as I have never seen snow before."
Our son, John, even commented that this is one of the most beautiful snows he remembers.
We have had the privilege of having our dear friend Rossy from Cancun Mexico visit us for Christmas. It has been incredible (one of Rossy's favorite words) how God has pathed the way for her to come here. So now that she is here we have been able to introduce Rossy to many of our family and friends. The night before Christmas Eve John and Carrie invited us to their church service as Carrie was singing, so we went and were blessed with a wonderful message. "Christmas: The Untold Story"
Christmas is the story of the very first "God with us" and how that began something entirely new in the history of God's relationship with humanity: God's spirit being born within human beings like never before. And that would never end for all of eternity, and calls us out of ourselves and into God's mission of helping everyone become part of the never-ending story.
The Spirit of Christmas only lasts for a season, but the Spirit of Christ within us lasts through all eternity. Mary's gracious acceptance of God's calling her to be the mother of the Son of God, "As you have said may it be so with me" has really touched my heart and is my heart's desire as well.
