GREETINGS!
Merry CHRISTMAS from Kansas! The house is decorated, we've had a few snow flurries, and the temperature is cold enough for you to see your breath. In other words, it's my favorite time of year! I trust you are warm and well and basking in the glow of the most precious Gift ever given to the world--a Savior, who is Christ the Lord!
PERSONAL PRAISE
At Thanksgiving, I gathered the grandchildren for a pic
with Gramma. Aren't they a lovely bunch of children? God
has definitely blessed us. Gramma and Grampa's quiver
is full...of joy!
PUBLISHING NEWS
I recently learned I've been nominated for a Career
Achievement Award, given by Romantic Times, for
accomplishments during my publishing years. I am so
humbled to be included in this nomination with suchamazing authors as Melody Carlson, Wanda Brunstetter, Jane Kirkpatrick, and Kathleen Ybarbo. The winner will be announced next May at a special ceremony. I will keep you posted. :o)
KIM’S MUSINGS
In the eleventh chapter of John, Jesus tells Martha, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" What a precious gift...and all we have to do is receive it.
Believe, and everything changes. We experience a peace, a joy so deep nothing of the world can remove it from us. And then...one day...we will see the Glory of God with our own eyes. All because JESUS came into this world as a tiny Baby destined to set us free from bondage and secure our relationship with the Father.
JESUS...Emmanuel...God with us.
May God bless you muchly as you journey with Him! ~Kim
