MERRY CHRISTMAS 2021

Merry Christmas  from Biltmore Estate,  12/14/21

 I hope and pray that ALL of you are having a fantastic Christmas.  The highlight this year for us was being with family on 3 different occasions recently,  plus our annual trip to Asheville, NC to experience "Christmas at Biltmore".  I hope that each of you can attend this event sometime...  It is breathtaking  (inside the house and outside on the grounds).  

As happy as we are now,  I can not forget those people who are struggling this year  for so many reasons (loss of loved one or special friend,  illness,  loneliness, etc.)    I hope that you will take time today to contact (phone, text, email, message) someone who is in this category --just to let them know you are thinking about them.  

Hope all are well -- and my prayers are for you and your loved ones as we share the joy of the Birth of Jesus Christ.   MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU!!!

Much Love,
Betsy and George

Merry Christmas Betsy and George. Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo and also for the reminder. With 3 good friends deaths in the past week and a half, on top of moving cross country this year, it is a strange Christmas. We're missing so many while being happy to be with family too.
I hope your day is filled with love, laughter and remembering the Savior Jesus too.
Blessings and love,
Betsy
