Don't forget the reason for the season!

The White Stocking


It wasn’t that anyone had really been forgotten,no children had been slighted or made unhappyand no adult had been left unremembered.The presents had all been distributed and all the stockings were beautifully filled,all that is except one;It was the stocking intended for the child of Bethlehem.Of all the people belonging at that Christmas gathering,only He had been forgotten.Only He had been left out of the festivities.This didn’t seem quite right,inasmuch as it was His birthday that was being celebrated.
This year, hang this little white stockingin a special place in your home.On Christmas Eve, as you reflect upon the Savior,write on a piece of papera gift for Christ to be placed in the stocking.It will remain in the stocking until next year’s Christmas Eve,When you can reach into the stockingand read the paper from the year before,written from your heart to the Savior.
We hope that you will enjoy beginning thisHoliday tradition. Your gift could include:personal goals you wish to achieve,or relationships you wish to improve,ways you will be of service to others in the coming year.Whatever you choose, may this gift to the Saviorbring you closer to Him as you walk in His lightAnd follow in His footsteps.



Merry Christmas and May we all remember Jesus Tomorrow and the day after that and the year after that! I miss you all and our hearts are with you this CHRISTmas Season!!
