Merry Christmas! Are you taking it easy until January or are
you writing like crazy to meet a deadline?
Or do those characters in your head demand that you write their story? I’m always amazed at novelists when they tell
me things like “my character wouldn’t let me go this direction with the
story.”
I marvel when an author tells me they
couldn’t sleep because they had a story that had to be written. All of you writers are amazing and it’s such
a great joy to work with every one of you who are our clients.
I hope you got your cookies baked, the
house decorated, groceries bought and packages wrapped. Such a busy time. If you are like me it’s hard to get away from
the computer, but I must forget it for a few days, especially on Christmas
day. I have other important things to
do, like cook for my family & friends and get those packages wrapped,
hoping that I didn’t forget anything.
I love to go to church on Christmas Eve,
such a special time to gather with friends and Worship the King of Kings and
thank Him for being willing to come to this Earth as a babe and then 33 years
later to die a horrible death on the cross for my sins. What a Savior! I love Christmas carols – singing about
“Christ the King, the newborn King.” It
is so amazing to me to look at all the Old Testament scriptures that clearly
portrayed His coming and yet His Disciples didn’t fully understand. And some people today do not fully understand
that he is indeed the King of Kings, Prince of Peace.
Thank you precious Savior for being our
King of Kings. Lord of Glory. My husband
always reads Luke 2 with our family before we open our presents and gather for
dinner.
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and
a happy & prosperous New Year serving our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray your dreams and goals become a
reality.

One of my favorite Christmas hymns is “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”. These four simple lines from Charles Wesley masterfully capture the significance and purpose of Christ’s birth:
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Born that man no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
I hope that you’ve had time this
Christmas season to pause and reflect on the significance of Christ’s birth.
Jesus came to be born at the exact moment in history that God the Father had
planned. Jesus grew from a boy to a man, and He also grew close relationships
with those that He loved. And that’s still His plan today – to be in
relationship with those that He loves – and that’s you, me and every person who
ever walked this earth.
Merry Christmas!
