The holiday season is often busy for most, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas parties, last-minute shopping, and travel arrangements. Amid the excitement, I hope you will join me to pause and reflect on our blessings in life, and all we have to be thankful for. 

I am particularly grateful for time with loved ones to rejoice in the overwhelming peace of the Lord and the promise of new life through Jesus Christ.

We are blessed to live in a country where we can celebrate freely and safely, but that does not come without a price. As you enjoy time with friends and family around the tree this year, I encourage you to remember those Americans who may be without their loved ones and thank them for their service and sacrifice.

This year has not been without challenges, but as we look toward the new year, I pray for continued strength, unity, and resiliency in our nation as we move forward. May peace be with you and your loved ones this holiday. 

Merry Christmas!
