",,,for unto you...."

This Christmas season is so different from those we have become accustom at home. The outside temp is 90 degrees during the day and 85 at nights. No one here has ever seen snow fall from the heavens. Pineapples are flourishing throughout the bush. We have seen no Christmas lights or windows decorated with chocolate displays. No “shopping days left before Christmas” signs or choirs of people singing carols. No gifts under a masterpiece of a Christmas tree, no ringing of a bell by the Salvation Army. No hustle and bustle of shoppers on the streets, no gathering for family dinners and parties, and no traffic snarls. Though we miss the common sights and sounds of the season, our reflections of Him who we celebrate have become more tender and meaningful. His birth was not heralded by stores or decorations or parties, but stable animals, a lone young couple, shepherds, angels, and a star. I’m sure Heavenly Father and Mother were tenderly there with their infinite love and warmth. We feel the exact same this year as we serve Him whose humble birth blesses all mankind. May we always have this years’ experience etched into our souls.

 Merry Christmas to all from

Africa!

Love, The Daltons
