Christmas Thank You Cards

Well, Christmas 2014 is gone already. Now, to send or not to send a thank you note to those who gave you gifts? ABSOLUTELY YES. Someone took time to go to a store, shop online, and/or make you something. So a thank you card is not only appropriate, but shows kindness and appreciation. And, if you have children, teach them the importance of writing a thank you note. Here is what my 9-year-old and I did.

I made this one - Card 1

We made 5 of this one together. The lights are his finger prints, and he will write the note to thank those who gave him gifts - Card 2

Merry CHRISTmas

Christmas was love in action because God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His ONLY SON to be born as a little baby on that first Christmas night. You see, without the manger there wouldn't be a cross. Without the cross there wouldn't be an empty tomb. Without the empty tomb there wouldn't be eternal life. My wish is that this Christmas you will have an encounter with Jesus, the Son of God, embrace His love for you, and develop an eternal relationship with Him.
