I photograph families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. There has never been a season that I have not been overwhelmed by the wonder and beauty of God's gift to us all, family.
So this Christmas, hold your family close. Celebrate the bright and beautiful eyes of your children. Revel in the stories of childhood from days gone by. Remember your mother's smile and those delightful meals she prepared every holiday season. Recall how your dad did his best to assemble toys and play those magical electronic games with his children. And, recall God's gift of family, His Son, so that we could share in His eternal family.
The angels brought the news of Jesus' birth to shepherds in the field so long ago, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which shall be for all people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11
That First Silent Night, God sent His only son to us all. Celebrate God's Gift of Family this Christmas!
