Friend,

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a wonderful time to slow down and spend time with friends and family. This holiday season, I am blessed to spend time with my wonderful family – my husband Matt, and our two boys, Max and Jax.

Amid all the festivities, we must also take the time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas – the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As a mom, I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my faith with my boys and see the magic of Christmas through their eyes (even though they may be too old to believe in Santa now!)

Luke 2:10-11: "And the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For this very day in David's town your Saviour was born — Christ the Lord!"

As we gather with loved ones this holiday season, we must not forget our servicemembers as well as our first responders and law enforcement who are sacrificing time with their families so we can safely enjoy time with ours. To those who are serving our nation and our communities this Christmas: Thank you! I am keeping you and your families in my thoughts and prayers this holiday season.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Best,
