A very Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year! Rita

Friends and Neighbors, " For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. " I sincerely wish and pray that each of you and your families have the best Christmas ever. Also that you are safe is all you do. The first gift of Christmas is peace and happiness through righteousness. And it is found in the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. May we all receive this gift in humility for our own sake. God bless you all. -eddie, sysop

Hello Fellow Listers, I just wanted to take the time to wish all of you a VERY Merry Christmas!! And, I am hoping that all of you will be sharing it with family and friends and being absorbed in the warmth and love of the Season. This past year has been one that has blessed most of us with new ancestors and cousins, but there are still too many out there continuing to be elusive. Lord willing, I will be here ready and willing to help anyone I can during the next year. It is really hard to get in the Christmas spirit with the temperature in the 80's. For a girl from the hills, it seems that Christmas has never been the same since leaving them. Wishing you'll Joy, Love, Friendship, and Blessings!!
