Dear Friends and Family,

Luke 2:25-32 says “Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God saying: ‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.’ “

May God grant you this Christmas season a renewed joy and revelation of all His goodness towards you in Christ Jesus, and may your hearts treasure Jesus and glory in who He is!

Much love from our family to yours. Wishing you a Merry Christmas full of glad tidings and consolation.

Jon and Melissa
