all i want for CHRISTmas

"...live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:2-4

Like many, with family scattered across the lands, we are busy gathering for  CHRISTmas celebrations far and wide. Traveling for some visits, we left our dogs at home.  As we departed, the message on their long faces was abundantly clear, "All we want for CHRISTmas is you".

What creates for the most fulfilling relationships?  I think my dogs nailed it... spending time with each other.  Isn't that the most valuable element we possess or can give to each other and with God?  

In many areas of life... love, faithfulness, forgiveness... i believe my kind, wise dogs really do know what matters.  Don't you?

we are loved and chosen by God,
and He desires for us to spend eternity with Him,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
