An oak's lost seeds bring life to the creatures housed in its limbs.

Grandfather shares the memories of Christmas past.

Dreams of Christmas soon to come, fill the thoughts of grandchildren.

All desire to be home, but for many distance and added generations makes it impossible.

Those who are alone are often comforted and warmed by a source seldom understood.

Rich colors abound in never ending combinations and brighten the lives of artisans and artists.

Gaily wrapped packages so lovingly done, bring gladness and squeals as they are hastily rent.

Concert halls are filled with souls being cheered by familiar and newly discovered strains.

Hopefully we will never forget – He who has provided this variety, goodness and abundance of life

For … He was born to bring purpose to life

He lived to be an exemplar of the way

He died that all might live

We truly love and appreciate you our Lord, our Savior, and our King.
