A Christmas Apart But Near In Our Hearts



Merry Christmas from the Olds family!

Christmas Blessings To You All!

Christmas will be different for our family this year because, for the first time since the birth of our first child, none of us will be together. (The picture is from last year.) That makes it a good time to appreciate all the good times we did have together over the past 30 years and to appreciate that distance doesn't diminish our deep love for one another.

Most of all we celebrate God's gift to us, His son and the joy that brings to our lives. We celebrate our family and the joy. love and enrichment it's brought to our lives. We celebrate our friends near and far and how they've enriched and blessed our lives. We count our blessings of a home and good health, appreciating constantly that they could be gone in an instant but the other things that bless our lives are dependably lasting.

Count your blessings this Christmas season and don't let troubles steal your joy. Know that, whatever challenges exist in your life, our Father loves you and offers you peace and joy. It's there for the asking. God Bless You and Merry Christmas from the Olds family!
