Feliz Navidad & Feliz Cumpleanos Jesus Cristo

We are enjoying some lovely Santa Ana winds (warm breezes of 70 degrees) on this Christmas morning. It is a great day to be alive and celebrate the birth of our savior. I was blessed this morning to share this day with 32 kids and 15 great friends who I am privileged to serve with here at Rancho Sordo Mudo. We were also blessed to have Francis Chan and his family here for Christmas. The best thing about this day is that it fell on Sunday...a day of worship, praise, and remembering the best Christmas present given to us all. A gift that can change our lives and provide for us eternal life. This is the day that the Lord has made ... let us rejoice in it. We are all given this gift and I was reminded that today as I worshiped with my hands, as I watched all of the kids open up their Christmas gifts, and listened to Luke and Francis Chan share about thankfulness, grace, and what it means to be a giver. A giver of time, or a giver of love, or even a giver of joy. We each can share something with someone and by just taking a moment to help or serve or just be available is all it takes. I am thankful for my family and friends who not only support me personally, but who are present in my life and who love me no matter what. A love that is everlasting and unconditional just like our savior Jesus Christ who died for all of us on the cross that his love could be poured out as a living sacrifice for our sins. His love is eternal. Feliz Navidad to all my friends and family. Hugs from Mexico
