Christmas Reflection

To the most precious people in God’s Kingdom,

I just want to take a moment to thank you for being a part of this family of believers at Rosedale. I do not get a chance often to tell you how much of a part that you play in the work and success of what we are accomplishing. I hope that phrases we use often from the pulpit are not just words that make us smile. Phrases like “what a coincidence” and “God is doing amazing things” are more than cute; they are accomplishments that God is doing in our lives. What a coincidence is reference that we know that nothing that happens to us is by chance, that God has His hands in our lives and that we can trust Him. God is doing amazing thngs is not just for someone else, but that each one of us believes that God is doing something special in our lives, in our families life, and in our church family.

May this Christmas be a time to thank God for an amazing year and for Jesus coming to fulfill prophecy– but also to redeem mankind. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. The virgin will be with child and will give birth, and they will call him Immanuel- which means “God with us.”

Becky and I truly love each one of you!
