Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We’d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

We hope you enjoy time with your family as much as possible over the next week. We know at times it’s easy to take our relationships for granted. But it’s times like this that prompt us to reflect on our blessings.

And we consider our family to be one of our greatest blessings.

For the last couple months, we’ve watched a loved one struggle in the intensive care unit of a hospital (first a hospital in Israel, then after a medical evacuation to a hospital near home). We’re grateful this week to see progress enough for him to be moved out of ICU. There’s still much ahead, but we’re so thankful for the prayers and faith of friends and family near and far.

Another one of the greatest blessings we reflect on at Christmas is the strength and joy we feel from our faith in a Savior that was born in a lowly stable in Bethlehem.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” – Luke 2:14

So whether you’re playing board games and card games, sledding, skiing, or just hanging out talking, enjoy the moments you have with your family.

May you all have a very Merry Christmas!
