Father Vazken spoke a couple of weeks ago about inviting people to your home who can never repay you as it speaks of in Luke chapter 14. The message like all of his messages was so beautiful and truly touching. I reflected on that verse and on his message of that morning and I feel compelled to share my thoughts. God has blessed me beyond measure and although I do not necessarily match with what the verse speaks of with regard to maimed, poor, etc (Thank God). I have been given a gift by this church, and it's congregation that I could never repay. The gift is the gift of fellowship and community. Furthermore, it is a gift of acceptance.

Therefore, on this Christmas day as I consider all of my blessings and thank God for all of my gifts, I thank Him for all of you. You have all touched my life beyond measure and I am not only blessed but truly honored with your presence in my life. Thank you for your open arms and open hearts. I love you all and look forward to getting to know you and contribute however I can to this amazing community who is led by an incredible leader.

Merry Christmas to you all and may you all have a wonderful night!!!!!

You are an incredible woman and a blessing to all of us. Okay, I realize this is a public blog and open comment area, but you were compelled to share your thoughts and I'm compelled to share mine. Reading this beautiful post got me all choked up because I recalled the day over a year ago when you came to church and surprised me! We love you, my kindred spirit, because you have touched all of our lives and have made our community of faith richer by your presence. And to Fr. Vazken - it is his unwavering leadership that has also stregthened the bonds of friendship. There is so much to be thankful for this Christmas season. We've opened our hearts to Christ, and our Lord has multiplied our blessings. And when I say Merry Christmas, there is truth in those words. Glory to God in the Highest for today Christ the Lord is born!

What a beautiful way to start my "day after Christmas". Nancy, from the first day we met, I felt a connection. Your kind and compassionate heart and your sweetness is a blessing to us all. We really are blessed to have found each other...but it's not by chance. God brought us all together!
I had the best Christmas of my lifetime this year. Now it's the day after but we'll just keep Christmas alive in our hearts every day!
Love you All!

Suzie and Anush, words cannot express my gratitude for your kind words!!!! You are right Anush about a connection. I completely feel the same way and it is thanks to the grace of God. He did bring us together and it makes me very happy. Thank you both for supporting my first blog on here!!! :) God Bless you.

EEEEEkkk! you guys are so good! It is only a month after you have blogged this that I am reading it. Eeek! Better late then never to say we are so very fortunate to have such a caring, compassionate community. Each and every one of you are blessings in our lives. Thank you for your kindness & Anush I would venture to say that Christmas is being kept very much alive, in our hearts through our actions everyday.
I promise when I enter MyChurch I will try to enter every room it contains, especially one I am moderating!

Love you guys
XOXO
