HAVING HOLY DAY’S THE WHOLE YEAR THROUGH
The Riley’s wish to send their wishes that the blessings of our Heavenly Father will come abundantly to each of you during this wonderful season and throughout the new year.
During this very special Holy Season, we wish to bear witness to this truth: it is Christmas which brings the Spirit of Christ to mankind; likewise it is Christ who can magnify the spirit of Christmas in our lives not only during this special time of year but all the year through.
Without Christ, the exchanging of gifts turns our thoughts from charitable love to concerns of indebtedness.
Without Christ, the bright lights and colorful decorations turn from being guiding beacons and uplifting revivers to glaring and gaudy glitter.
Without Christ, gatherings of family and friends turn from memory building reunions to better forgotten ruinous riotous rallies.
Without Christ, Christmas turns from a day of celestial contemplation to a day of trivial telestial thoughts.
Just as Christ turns our every participation during this special season into something positive, we believe it can be so the whole year through if we allow His love to penetrate our hearts each day as it does during this Holy Season.
Therefore, we take this moment to wish you all a joyous and wondrous Christmas; but more than this we wish for you the eternal joy which can be yours through having come unto the Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
