Merry Christmas from our family

To family, friends and readers, I hope this Christmas time brings to your mind the many blessings of freedom, family, faith and prosperity that enrich our lives every day.  I recognize, more and more, that each of these four gifts from God are not to be taken for granted nor is there some default guarantee that they will always be in our possession.  Millions who now live and the greater majority of those who have come and gone before us have not known the quality and the quantity of these things as we have.  They are given to us by a benevolent God and only limited by our willingness to serve him with our own modest lives.  May these blessings of heaven fill your lives this season and throughout 2012.
