Good morning, my friend. I woke up today feeling so much better after dealing with the flu for the past week.
This morning, Joyce and I were greeted by a wonderful news that our nephew, Andrew Briggs and his wife Kristen, had a baby girl yesterday. Heika Ann Briggs, born 12/14/23, 6lbs 9oz, 20″long. What a beautiful baby. As our hearts rejoice, I thank the Lord for this special gift from God.
During this Christmas Season I’m looking for ways to share Good Tidings of Great Joy! And this little girl can be one of those joys. Children are the greatest gift we have.
Another way to share Good Tidings and Great Joy is by just smiling and greeting people warmly. It makes us happy. Last evening my mom (now 87) and I went to McDonalds. As we walked in, we greeted every person we met with a smile. When our order came, we smiled at the person that brought our dinner and said, “Thank you”. This encouraged the waiter and he left with a smile on his face. As we ate, Mom and I watched two little boys about 3-4 years old playing in the play area and it made us laugh as they chased each other. My mom said, “That reminds me of you and JR (my brother who is one year older than me) when you were little, always running and laughing.”
Luke 2-10-11 “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ Jesus.” We have so much to be thankful for and for today I want to share that joy with you.
Spread the Good Tidings.

Yes, Larry, we do have a lot to be thankful for.
Nathan is getting married tomorrow and I will be thankful to have a daughter-in-law.
If I don’t get to tell you between now and Christmas, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
