It is the most wonderful time of the year. I love Christmas, the decorating, the baking, the hustle and bustle of things. But that is not what I love about Christmas. I love celebrating birthdays. And what a special birthday it is! We are celebrating Jesus birth! We are celebrating His life. His coming to earth to save us! I am humbled at the thought of a great mighty all powerful God humbling Himself into the form of a baby, helpless and totally dependent on a human. Sent here to show us how to love, to show us the true meaning of love. Giving His life for us. A perfect sinless life for wretched sinner like me! And rising again to show us the way! What a perfect love!
Join with us this Christmas and remember the true meaning of Christmas. That Jesus was born!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Updates...
We received a call from our friend Tyler Sunday night informing us that New England Bible Church voted on us Sunday evening and they are now supporting The Wilson Family! We are so excited to be their new missionaries! The church has made us feel so welcome and right at home when we are there.
It is such a blessing to see them excited about the ministry. Seeing them talk about what part they will have in it as well, coming down on short term trips and just being an extension of the local church! What a blessing they have been to us.
My Mom went to the surgeon yesterday. She will be having her surgery on Jan. 8, she sounded great when I was talking to her. A weight has been lifted I think. It is a pretty invasive surgery but that is all they will need to do, no chemo or radiation. They will be removing part of the pancreas and also her spleen. Amazing how God created our bodies with so many parts that we can live without! Please continue to pray for her comfort while she is waiting for surgery and also for my Dad. It has been a long road with so many health issues in the family the past few years!
Thank you all so much for taking time to read our updates, our stories, our concerns and also be in prayer with us for these things!
God is SO good!
Thankful...
I would like to write a brief list of things that We the Wilson Family are thankful for this year. I have asked the kids to tell me things that they are thankful for as well so if they seem a little childish it is because they are. We can learn so much from them can't we?
(these are not on here in any special order just on here as they are being said!)
1. Grammy and Grampy
2. Gas prices have gone down.
3. Grandma being with Jesus.
4. A home to provide shelter and warmth.
5. Nana and Papa
6. New friends that we have made.
7. Family that is close by.
8. Elephants (Claire)
9. A great church to attend.
10. Supporters
11. Salvation
12. Employment
13. Health
14. A vehicle that is dependable.
15. God's faithful provisions.

Take time to stop and think about what you are thankful for this year. Make a phone call to someone you love and let them know. Take time to spend with your family and let them know how special they are to you.
and remember like we teach our children to be thankful and rejoice in everything.
Even when you don't feel like being thankful remember that God is faithful!
I Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
