Merry Christmas

To Family and Friends, Alike...

Thank you for all your prayers, letters, and emails. Although we are gone for awhile, we live with and recall with fondest memories much love, laughter and tears from over the years. Visits from a few, together with learning and working with new friends - has helped the year pass rather quickly. we are so privileged and happy to be serving here. England is a beautiful country with wonderful people we've grown to love with all our hearts!
One of our favorite places we've been able to visit, though, was many years ago in Shepherd's field, Bethlehem. We share this picture (by Arnold Friberg) to remind us all to remember the Good Shepherd whose love we seek and who knows each of us by name as a shepherd does his sheep. it is He who brings us comfort and peace throughout our days and trials, for they are a part of this life.
Can you imagine the joy and wonder of the season to those who had waited so long for the coming of the Savior? Let us not forget. They knew in their hearts He was coming...


Wishing You All A Merry Christmas

Enjoying Family and Friends...

WE MISS YOU ALL!!!
With Much Love, Gabby and J
