For every end there is a beginning for every ending there is a beginning. Our trip to visit Texas was a picture of both sides of that. While seeing my new niece, Rachelle commented how awesome it was that her ears were hearing the Christmas story for the first time. How awesome and how special of a thought that though her ears will hear much in her life that will cause concerns, she has already had a seed of the Good News planted in her life.
On the other side, we saw Rachelle's uncle who is in the very final stages of a long battle with cancer. At the age of 48, this temporary life seems to remind us that it is never fair. This Christmas, he heard the Christmas story for the very last time.
We never know when the first time or last time will be, but may this blog remind us all that time is short but the Christmas message is truly Good News to those who believe!

Such a beautiful little girl. She is fortunate to be in a home where the Christmas story will be lived out in front of her every day.
