Christmas is a season to celebrate the birth of Jesus who came into this world as the Savior of all mankind. Around this time every year, people look back at the past year and make plans for the new year with great expectations and hope. People who have truly believed in God and lived according to His Word in the 66 books of the Bible are likely to have lived peacefully even amidst the problems of the world including accidents and diseases. They are also likely to have received blessings at their workplaces and businesses. May each of you give thanks to the mercy and the loving touch of God and live a life abounding in blessings every day of Year 2009 by trusting wholly in God.
