THE BLESSING

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Instruct Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: ‘May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.’
 
Numbers 6:22-26
 
I pray this blessing for you and your family and that your Christmas celebration was a joy-filled occasion. Gennia and I were blessed to be able to see most of our immediate families. A world wind trip to Atlanta covered all but two of our children and grandchildren. The Christmas day drive home covered our parents and in-laws. AND cell phones enabled us to talk almost everyone else.
 
The blessings of this day, added to the blessings we have experienced throughout this year (often due to many of you) remind us of the ultimate and unmatched blessing – the gift of God in His Son Jesus Christ. We have so much to rejoice about and it all begins with Jesus!
