~capturing the true meaning of Christmas
Jesus came as a babe
lade in a manger
lived a sinless perfect life
took our sin upon Himself on the cross
to allow us life with Him forever
by accepting this free gift
What gift can we bring that is fit for a King?
Our love and devotion to HIM.
Praise and Thanksgiving
but, first
our acceptance of
Jesus, Christ as Lord & Saviour
this is what He wants for Christmas
John 3:16
~~~
Our families' hearts are heavy this Season.
My father-in-law will be spending Christmas with Jesus.
He went to be with the Lord last night.
Prayer is what others can do
to share in the heaviness and lighten
the load for those who are hurting.
"It's us oh, Lord who are standing in the need of prayer"
Merry Christmas
from our family
to yours,
~Karen

I'm so sorry, Karen. May God comfort your family as only He can.
My sincere sympathy, Karen. May God comfort you all.
Karen, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss yet, thankful he's with Jesus. Christmas - at home with Jesus. We are in limbo here as well waiting for Jesus to take my mother-in-law home. Praying for your peace and comfort. God bless you and yours. Pamela
I'm so sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you hope and joy even in the midst of your grief. A big hug, dear sister!
I am so sorry. My sweet mother in law spent her first Christmas with her Savior last year.
We miss her but know her faith has become sight and we will see her again soon.
My prayers are with you in the days to come.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and Nathan and the boys are in mine and Dave's prayers! We love y'all! Let me know if there is anything we can do for you.
So sorry, Karen. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear that a member of the family will be missing at the table this Christmas. May you find comfort in knowing that he is rejoicing at the Father's table.
I am so, so sorry. Your family will be in my prayers. I'll be asking God to shelter you during this difficult time.
Oh Karen, I'm so sorry about your loss. I lost both my grandmother and my grandfather the week before Christmas. (Different years). It's an indescribable feeling because although we know where they are, the celebration was lonelier without them.
May His peace cover you this season.
Karen, I'm so sorry for the loss of your family member. This is an especially hard time to lose someone, so my sympathy is with you. I hope you will find the comfort and strength that comes from knowing you will be together again.-----

Merry Christmas to your family. Love and hugs!!!

Karen, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it is burdensome to lose a loved one at this time of year. Thank God we have the blessed Hope that Jesus brings to us!
As usual, I'm amazed by your photography. Thank you for sharing these beautiful images.
I so remember our first Christmas without my husband's father--and because of that your family is in my thoughts and prayers--hoping to lighten the burden, Dianne
