Feliz Navidad...

So, here we are in December – summertime – celebrating Christmas in a different land, as foreigners, away from family and friends. Somehow, this culture stress and homesickness seems appropriate as we wait for the arrival of our God to come to save us in the form of a baby.

2010 has been a year of change and joy and sadness and peace and chaos all wrapped up into one (it’s still missing the pretty bow). As we celebrate the birth of Christ down here in Argentina and wait expectantly for his coming, we are reminded of how all-knowing, gracious, and good He is. He has a profound love for each of us and I happen to find that amazing.

These words were written by the prophet Isaiah about 740 years before the birth of Christ. They speak of Jesus's coming with truth and strength.

[Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 (NCV)]
“Before those people lived in darkness, but now they have seen a great light.

They lived in a dark land, but a light has shined on them.
A child has been born to us;
God has given a son to us.
He will be responsible for leading the people.
His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God,
Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.
Power and peace will be in his kingdom
and will continue to grow forever.
He will rule as king on David's throne
and over David's kingdom.
He will make it strong
by ruling with justice and goodness
from now on and forever.
The Lord All-Powerful will do this

because of his strong love for his people.”

He loves you and we love you.
Blessings on you and your family this Christmas season.
