Emmanuel, God is with us

It's time for the Potters annual Christmas card. Every Advent season as we move toward Christmas, I seem to have a theme to my thoughts. This year it's Emmanuel, God with us. God sent his son to live a life like any other human with an extraordinary end. God chose for Jesus to be born a baby, something that is dependent on others for survival. He could have chose for him to come at any stage in life but He wanted him to experience life with all the things that go along with it.

I know each of us have had our ups and downs this year because that is what life is. Times that were joyful and times that were sad. As we move closer to Christmas, I hope that you will find peace and find comfort that God is with us always.

Merry Christmas,

Wes, Melissa, Lizzie and Gracie

Look! A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, And they will call him, Emmanuel. (Emmanuel means “God with us.”) Matthew 1:23
