You’ve made it!  This quarter has certainly flown by. Thank you for sharing your sweet children with me;
I will miss them over the break.   Whatever your plans, I pray that God grant you safe travel, fellowship with family,
and the joy and peace which comes through the gift of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Have a joyous Christmas!
