My 7-year-old daughter created this Christmas note out of her Banana Gram letters on the floor in her room. Thank you, sweetie. Daddy and Mommy love you to the moon and back!
Dear friends,
As we reflect upon the cradle and the cross at the close of 2011, it is our prayer that 2012 will be a year of grasping the glorious grace-implications of the gospel even more deeply so that we will be compelled to extend them even more widely—from Dahlonega, through the north Georgia mountains and to the ends of the earth. To that end, we pray that you and yours have a very Jesus-centered Christmas and a richly blessed New Year! Soli Deo gloria,
On Friday, Schaeffer and I hiked to the summit of Springer Mt (3,780 ft.), the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Some snow was still on the trail from Wednesday.
Kristy had each member of the family write down a number of things for which we are thankful and hung them on our "Thanksgiving Tree" (cut from the back yard and placed in the den). It is a bit Charlie Brownish, but I really like it.
