Jesus' Birthday



MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Rhodes Family!!

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.       John 1:14

We've truly enjoyed today.  Waking up to the quiet and then surprised at the late hour (7:30am!), the house was soon bustling with excitement!  It is Christmas!  What we've been waiting for!  It's been wonderful ushering in the real story of the season as we've been more intentional in the story telling and emphasizing of Jesus, his birth, and why it is SO important.  The anticipation of living the anniversary of such great moments in history has been building for days, weeks.  And they didn't disappoint.  God has truly blessed us - greatly!  We shared a birthday blessing in honor of our Savior followed by a Rhodes tradition of homemade blueberry muffins, some gifts, some playing and relaxing, and soon a meal to celebrate His coming into the world, for us, so that we can commune with God as His children.  What a blessing....  Merry Christmas!
