Christmas has never been a really joyful time of year for me.  My parents didn’t seem to enjoy it and that seemed to be passed on to me.  I was asked to give a testimony about Christmas for our church cantata.  I’m not used to watching myself speak.  It’s not very pretty, but just to be able to speak is a blessing.  Just in way of explanation, my oral surgeries have left me altered.  When a titanium plate was removed from my jaw, my chin moved to the left by  3/4″.  The left half of my lower lip doesn’t have any feeling.  The point is that I have been blessed; God has been kind to me.

Merry Christmas to you!
