[Nfbofsc] From My Family to Yours!!!

[Jennifer Bazer]

I hope all of my Federation family has a very blessed Christmas and a very
Merry New year!

 

>From Kaylin, my 5.5 year old and Cade, my almost 9 year old, we thank you
for an incredible 2018 and look forward to a joyful 2019!!!

 

We continue to pray for those who have gone before us; those we have lost in
our Federation family this year! May God continue to comfort their families!

 

We know that God's timing is perfect and His grace is sufficient for us!

 

God bless each of you!

 

First Corinthians 13 - Christmas Version
If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows
Strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls,
But do not show love to my family,
I'm just another decorator.

If I slave away in the kitchen baking dozens of Christmas cookies,
Preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at
mealtime,
But do not show love to my family,
I'm just another cook.

If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing homes
And give all that I have to charity,
But do not show love to my family,
It profits me nothing.

If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes,
Attend a myriad of holiday parties, and sing in the choir's cantata,
But do not focus on Christ,
I have missed the point.

Love stops the cooking to hug the child.
Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the spouse.
Love is kind, though harried and tired.
Love doesn't envy another's house (that has coordinated Christmas china and
table linens).

Love doesn't yell at the kids to get out of the way,
But is thankful they are there to be in the way.
Love doesn't give only to those who are able to give in return,
But rejoices in giving to those who can't.

Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
Love never fails.

Video games will break, pearl necklaces will be lost, golf clubs will rust
But the gift of love will endure.
