Greetings,
One of the things that we usually do towards the Christmas season is listen to the Christmas Cantatas that we sang before and to new ones that we receive from our music subscription. The music always leads to fond memories of past Christmases and create new memories. Although the Christmas message is presented in different style, language, and mood – the central message always focuses on the reason of the birth of Christ – Emmanuel – God with us!. We would like to share the lyrics of a song from the Christmas musical “Deck The Mall”.

| For every broken heart in need of mending. For every lonely child who needs befriending; For every time the innocent will ever need defending, That’s why He came.That’s why He came for all the lost and lonely That’s why He came for all the questions Only love explains And so that when we need Him We can call upon His name That’s why He came. |
To do the perfect will Of God His Father To place His death just like A lamb to slaughter So He could pour out life Like living water That’s why He came. To bring His light into our darkness And His healing to our pain To bring us hope When all seems hopeless That’s why Jesus came. |
This year had been full of activities for our family. Kyle and Keshia were occupied with school, piano lessons, soccer, speedskating, and youth group. We had a short trip to Nova Scotia during the summer where we visited the famous Peggy’s Cove.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and the very best for the New Year.
