Days before Christmas

We are just 2 days from Christmas and it still doesn't seem like Christmas. I guess Christmas must be cold and snowy to be right. Although that is not what Christmas is all about. We went into town today (just drove through) and there were so many people I was glad we were just going to the Post Office and not shopping. Most stores said 60% off most items. There are very few decorations and we saw very few people carrying packages. Not at all like the USA.

This morning we spent about 2 hours with a Swazi friend that is struggling with a call to the Ministry. He thinks he is to young to be called and he wants to make sure it is God calling and not other people saying he would make a good preacher. His name is Dumsani. Remember him in your prayers.

Christmas is about God giving us His son. What are we giving to God, Jesus Christ this season.

Happy Birthday to our Son-in-law Nathan. Have a good one!

Merry Merry Christmas. I know it is hard being far from your loved ones, but it sounds like the Lord is giving you new people to love, not to replace the old ones, but to fill your hearts in a different way.
We miss you and pray for you daily.
Love,
Jayne, Dale and Joanne
