Have an inspired Christmas Eve and inspire each and every one you love, my friend and brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
Heavenly Father, YOU are the author and sustainer of creation, the Healer, the Justifier, the Peacemaker and YOU blessed us with the atonement of the Christ on the cross.
For those of YOUR adopted children who read this, I pray that YOU are restoring the sick and injured to health; broken and warring families to restored fellowship and peace; and unbridled love to break out among families, friends and those who feel friendless and alone.
Thank YOU, LORD, that YOU came to earth as a babe to save the world. That act is beyond my understanding and yet I am so grateful for YOU.
Fill each of us with love and guide us to those who need YOUR love to be demonstrated. YOU remind us that loving our neighbor is the way we demonstrate that we love YOU.
In the power and authority of the Name above all Names, Jesus the Christ.

I love the picture quote and have always told my kids this exact thing. As an adult, I never warmed to Christmas because it has become more commercialized and about things- not about family and the true meaning to remember the birth of the Savior.
This year remembering those that are away from their families- first responders, military, health care providers, and those that may simply be lost in life trying to find their way. Merry Christmas eve Col and blessings of family and love throughout the season and everyday.

No matter how much time we have to prepare ourselves for the inevitability of losing a loved one is never easy, but when it happens you are never prepared as you thought you might have been. All we can do is give our loved ones the love that was instilled in us because we never know when it will be our turn.

These memories touch something deep inside those that believed the Spirit of Christmas as children, and may we share that spirit with our loved ones as something that is still alive in each of us.
