As this year comes to an end, and we are looking to celebrate another Christmas, we have so much to be thankful for.

Christmas is a special and important time of year. It is this time we know that Jesus was born and is the real reason for the season. Let us never forget that without the birth of Jesus, there can be no celebration.

As the nation and world continue to face many challenges, our upcoming presidential election, funded wars, etc., let’s continue to pray for peace and love for mankind. Let us help make our country and world a better place to live.

Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Happy Holiday! Happy Kwanzaa! Have a blessed New Year!
