Somehow it's the one time of year people actually sort of want to come, even when they don't any other time. I'm going to try again this year and see if those people across the street maybe don't want to try it out. And btw, my sister and her family never went to church when their kids were little. Then the year that my niece was 3 they were with us for Christmas and went to the Christmas Eve service with us (Protestant). They discovered that both kids could actually sit through a service. When they went home they found a church and started attending. While my nephew is a convinced unbeliever at 25, my niece is a very committed Protestant Christian and my brother-in-law has found a very supportive place in his church community since my sister's death. You really do never know the impact of one Christmas spent in church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-67569134597981503052006-12-18T07:31:00.000-06:002006-12-18T07:31:00.000-06:00Beautiful reminder!

But you're right, it is an opportunity to welcome them back. <br />And sadly I didn't even know what a blog was last year, so I don't mind your repeats at all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
