We have worries and feans, ilis and weariness that are hard to overcome, but if we let tbem get the upper hand, they can do us barm and we can miss God's greatest Gift, hîs Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came with Love, Joy and Peace. The Gif t was mneant for everybody. To accept God's Gift of lis Son is more important than most of the tbings we tbink are important.
