We miss our Joshua Kyle terribly and think of him everyday.  We so look forward to seeing him again one day. For that I am thankful. I cannot update you on our family without mentioning our Joshua. As we celebrate the birth of Christ I am reminded of the night Joshua Kyle went to heaven and as we were weeping in deep, deep grief I realized I knew where Joshua was because I knew and remembered vividly the day Joshua accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  A peace came over me I will never forget.  The excruciating pain continued as I was held in tension with peace unspeakable. 

 For God so loved the world that HE gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Merry CHRISTmas from our family to yours!!!!!!!

May God be with you and reveal Himself to you as you celebrate the birth of Jesus this CHRISTmas season
