Thursday Devotional - 2021 Rea Christmas Picture and Note

 

With many of you possibly taking days off next week, I thought I would include our Christmas card picture and note this week…

Studying Jesus in the book of Matthew (through Bible Study Fellowship), we all memorized Matthew 1:21 “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Sarah gets to join James and me for in-person BSF Tuesday nights! The twins get special time with my Dad those nights, while Joe works. 

Speaking of salvation, Edmund and Alexis became part of our spiritual family this year, before they were officially part of our earthly family! After re-signing stacks of papers and re-doing the entire adoption hearing, it was finally final in July!

James (3rd grade) and Sarah (1st grade) continued tennis lessons with my Dad and increased a level at gymnastics. James enthusiastically continued Spanish with my Mom, choir with his aunt and cousins, and (not as enthusiastically) piano with me. Sarah was on cloud nine for horse-back riding lessons with cousins! 

All four kids proudly completed several running races this summer and fall. They amazed Joe and me with their perseverance! Now, sometimes one of them asks me to go running (instead of the other way around).

I pray you enjoy time celebrating Jesus this season!!!

Merry Christmas!

Alice
