Greetings to all from the Hall family.
We are locked in the middle of the rainy season here in Zambia.
I, Lyle, just returned from a great time with the Maasai in Tanzania. I am now writing my journal on our blog so keep a look out for some new ‘stories’. Or come out for a visit, our house is always open. Merry Christmas.
Rachel, now 10 years old: “I love to sew, to rollerblade and I love my puppy Sasha. I am thankful that we are in Kabwe and have good friends here.”
Acacia is 7½: “I love to make Christmas decorations, I love the big rains and sometimes I wash my hair in the rain, and I am thankful that it is almost Christmas.”
Mikaela is almost 6: “I love to play freeze tag with my friends and to play in the rain. I love our big Christmas tree, and I’m thankful that daddy has made our house so nice.”
Naomi is 2. She loves to play outside and get muddy and is thankful when mommy and daddy take time to play.
Some Christmas reflections from Jette: We have been reading one chapter every day from the Gospel of Luke with the children . Luke has 24 chapters, which takes us all the way up to Christmas Eve. And it reminds us of the real reason Jesus was born, which was to live and die for us.
What a wonderful God! And what an incredible event it was; “The Messiah? Birthed in sheep manure??” This is a quote from a small book I have just read called “The Innkeeper’s Son“ by Ken Anderson. This was not at all how the Messiah was expected to come to earth. People were expecting him to come in glory and majesty, but he chose to come in poverty and humility. God’s gift of love to me, to you. Merry Christmas.
