Then the angel said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold, 

I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people   

Luke 2:10

The shepherds received such a message that night from the angel of God from above,

It was filled with hope and good tidings for sure and signed with the Father's love.

The joy which he promised which through Jesus would come was a message for one and all,

And all who receive Him have this joy in their lives because on day upon Him they did call.(RP)

Today, the last minute preparations will be made for the yearly brunch held Christmas morning.  We look forward to it.  Our family will be here and one other invited guest whose wife is away, so we wanted him to have Christmas with us. We pray that all of you will have a wonderful day.  Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.  We appreciate it.
