Christmas 2015



This is the 7th year we have created a collage card to send to family and friends and to remember special moments from the year. Highlights of this year included a trip to Ireland in September, Duncan's trip to India in March and a work trip for Andrea that took her to several countries. We are grateful to know that the work we do can and is making a difference.

I am grateful for the reminder that "in those days" there was much fear and division in the world, not unlike we face today, BUT "on this day," because of this day, there can be a new way forward, a different possibility and the reminder - Do Not be Afraid! (Luke 2:1-20 Thanks Dottie Younger)

GK Chesterton writes, "Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home." So on this day that we remember a middle eastern family that was looking for a place to stay and the good news that came on this day, my hope and prayer is for peace and safety and justice for all.
