This year we saw milestones for two of our Firstborn.
Robin our Firstborn son married Cori on a beautiful fall day in October. We were so grateful that all the family were able to make the joyous event.
On December 24th, 2003 our Firstborn grandchild, Ben and Kim’s daughter Ana-Marie was born. She turned 18 years yesterday! We were delighted to hear her do the final reading from John’s gospel, at RiverTree school’s Festival of Lessons and Carols. A ‘Nana’ recording….Fill in the first line and enjoy the good news!……..
December 25 of 2 B.C. was when the Magi arrived in Bethlehem, bearing gifts for the King. Jesus was already three months old at the time, having been born at the feast of Trumpets, the evening of September 28/29.

We rejoice in his incarnation so that that he might become, “…the FIRSTBORN among many brethren.” (Rm.8:29)
May you and your family’s celebration today……… which would then approximate more to the time when Jesus was conceived, rather than born!…..be filled with love, joy, peace, and hope at His coming again.
