Reflecting on The Gift

The gift of our hearts ...
of course we brought it to CR

Merry Christmas from Costa Rica! As we reflect on The Gift of Jesus' birth ... we are filled with hope. Inevitability for some, thoughts of Christmas brings the anticipation of brightly colored packages waiting under a tree.  Gratefully, as we focus our celebration on The Gift of Jesus, we can't help but to reflect on the beautiful gift of each of you! So, I'm picturing each of you wrapped up and under our 'Charlie Brown' Christmas tree in sunny Costa Rica ... can you feel the warmth?

Words can't begin to express our gratitude for your gift of prayer! We feel completely covered and nestled under HIS wings knowing you all are communing with Father on our behalf.  In those moments when we question "What are we doing?" your words of encouragement and affirmation resonate deep within our soul. Thank you for spurring us on with Father's life giving Word, notes, emails, texts and Christmas cards. Faithfully, God continues to supply all our needs because of your generous financial partnership on this journey, thank you! With grateful hearts we celebrate Jesus' birthday and thank Him for the gift of you!

Celebrating The Gift ... Rejoicing in hope ... Reflecting on His love through you!
