Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a season of celebration. How do we plan to celebrate?
We began the holidays with a visit to Gabe’s in Washington
DC. There’s a very festive mood at her house since she is soon to re-locate to a new job after working nearly five years in the National Symphony Orchestra. She won the audition for Associate Principal Horn of the Baltimore Symphony and will be moving there this spring.
Next the three of us will travel to France for two weeks of holiday celebration with Shaelagh, Jeremiah and Annalise (now two years old). They are doing well in their second year of missionary life in France. We have been keeping in touch with them through weekly video chats, but that does not compare to actual hugs, enjoying French meals together, sharing their life, and seeing the amazing animated Christmas decorations in Paris.
The real celebration, though, is because Jesus, the gift of Christmas, brought us forgiveness of sin and eternal life. That message is what gives our jobs meaning as we continue to enjoy our work at the Moody Bible Institute and The Christian Working Woman. It provides purpose to our lives and direction in our life’s journey.
Now we want to join you in celebrating the season, and so we send you our Merry Christmas and wishes for a Happy 2008!
With joy,
Konrad and Lucinda
