CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS & CHALLENGE

The Jolley family has received so many beautiful Christmas cards this year. Thank you for helping us celebrate the holiday. Along with the pictures and cards, are some letters as well. One letter in-particular stood out to me, and we wanted to share with all of you her message and challenge. (Thanks Lori!)

"We are grateful for so many things: a quaint home, great jobs, food on the table, health, happiness... I could go on and on. Despite the instability of our economy and the daily headlines fluctuating between "it is improving" to "it's not as good as once thought" ... we know this, we are blessed. Blessed to call you our family and friends - and blessed to wake each morning to God's gifts.

So here's the 2009 challenge... : As you gather with your family and friends this year, make sure to say "I love you" whole heartedly, hug tightly, hold each other in your hearts and share abundantly for what you are grateful.

It is with gracious hearts that we see the wonders of this world..."


Merry Christmas! We love you and are grateful for such wonderful family and friends that help in a moments notice, pray for us, and share with us our greatest truimphs and disappointments. We hope this year has brought you closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Let us always remember what the season is about. Love, the Jolleys
