A time to send greetings and hugs
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens
Ecclesiastes 3:1
Now it is a time to send greetings and hugs.
But mainly It is also time to remember and to proclaim and to celebrate the accomplishment of the Word
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:2
Jesus the King of Kings! The Light of the World came to us!
