Tonight

After spending this evening in worship at Crossroads Community Church, we are blessed to be home at a relatively early time, a rarity for our family on Christmas Eve.

We are watching and listening to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Christmas special – She’s Coming Home for Christmas.

We are blessed to be together.

I shared with Amber yesterday that the song, She’s Coming Home for Christmas, speaks of my heart for her. It speaks of the emotions that I felt on October 27th, when she shared of the transformation that God performed in her heart at Mercy. We are glad to have Amber home. Her most immediate future starts in January when she takes her first college classes.

We are blessed with two good kids. Robby is happy this Christmas season in a new and special way. He is thankful for the friends, male and female, that he has developed here in Lakeland. Also, for the first time in his life, Robby is making straight A’s. Daily, Robby works on his guitar and his music is being welcomed and appreciated at Crossroads.

I am blessed to have Vivian by my side. The last few months have been very challenging indeed. However, we are going through them together, united and loved. That makes all the difference.

We are making new friends here and expect Hope Church to begin forming in January. Our excitement grows daily as we expect God to move in new and creative ways. Stay tuned.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

It is interesting that we don’t know all of you who read my blog. But we do know many of you. To all we know, thank you for being in our lives. We cherish you. To those we don't, God has brought you here for a reason. Be blessed this season.....and every coming day. Open your heart’s door to God and watch what He does.

Love,

The Malsons
