Happy Christmas to all!

Christmas greetings to all our friends and family,

Another year has gone and God has shown His grace to us many more times than we deserve.  In addition to being beneficiaries of Christ's personal love, we have also been so thankful to all the people He has brought into our lives.  You all have encouraged us through the happy and sad times.  Thanks for your support, words of counsel, encouragements, listening ears, shoulders to cry on, laughter, and kindness.  2010 has been a mixed bag of trial and triumph, and in both experiences, you have been there helping.  Thank you all.

Instead of writing a Christmas letter, we thought our blogs would suffice to give you a quick review of our year.  Sereena's blog, Shailer Mailer, has most of our personal family and friends events and photographs.  Nige's blog, http://2tim42preachtheword.blogspot.com/, contains our ministry involvements with more photographs.  We hope these are an encouragement to you.

May God bless you this Christmas season and extend His grace to you again in 2011.

Love,
Nige & Sereena

PS.  Here's a neat song/video telling the story of Christmas.  I especially like the words in the bridge that say, "The beginning of the story is wonderful and great, but its the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate!"  Yes, Jesus came to earth as a baby but He grew to be a man . . . a man that died on the cross for  your's and my sin - a punishment that we all deserve but He took our place.  Take a listen:
