Well here it is, the evening of Christmas Day 2010.  It has been a very good day!  It has been a day spent with my loving family, full of fun, food & presents.  Of course first & foremost it is Jesus’ Birthday, the Real Reason for the Season.  So why have I titled this blog ” Happy Holidays? ” Well, while it has been joyous, there has also been sadness around us this Christmas season………friends with serious medical concerns, marriages in trouble & so much more going on, can we honestly say, ” Happy Holidays? “  We can if we realize that even in the midst of all these circumstances, God is still God & He has it all under control.  We may not understand it all, but we must trust Him, He’s not surprised by any of it & He knows what is best in every situation.  So, lets remove the ?  & say Happy Holidays, because with God guiding us, it can’t be anything but Happy!!!  Merry Christmas & all the very best for the year 2011……………In His Service………Brother Dave Millard

This has been quite a week!  A co-worker of mine just found out her husband had cancer, they went in & thought they got it all, but it turns out they had not & now he must go through chemo & radiation. Another co-worker of mine was diagnosed with colon cancer 3 weeks ago & yesterday he died, it had metastasized & went to his liver.  The Bible tells us life is A Vapor, it appears for a little while then vanishes away. The question is are you ready when that happens. This is a very busy time of year, it causes alot of stress & anxiety, yet it is supposed to be joyous, is it?  I would challenge you to put God FIRST in your celebration, after all it is Christ’s birthday we are celebrating.  Tell those around you how much you love them & most of all tell God……EVERY DAY! Remember it is A VAPOR……………Merry Christmas with Love from Brother Dave.
