We wish you a “Merry CHRISTmas 2011 & HAPPY New Year 2012”,

We love this delightful time of the year, with all the ambient joy in the air, expressed by everyone,

all the celebrations, under our trees, at our tables, in our churches, schools, & businesses.

The precious CHRISTmas-spirit is filling our home & hearts, with celebration, excitement & love!

We are closest family and dearest friends & we cherish this relationship & our friendship!

We are wishing that you & yours are well.

We pray that you are filled with the meaning of these “HOLY Day’s”… CHRISTmas & New Years!

We, Duaine & Pamela Allen,

Express a great big, “WOW… Wow… wow…!”

We are finding it hard to believe that this Season came up fast, is happening and will be soon be over!

However, We impart our “Warmest CHRISTmas & New Year’s Greetings”

with you we are celebrating the Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ & marking our calendars to His years!

This letter is our note to you, today, CHRISTmas EVE:

We salute you & yours with the merriest CHRISTmas & joyous New Year’s Greetings.

We share heart-warmth in the scriptures of this glorious reason for this season.

We celebrate nativity with joyous anthems, carols & choruses.

We revel in family, fun, festivities, frolics, functions & fellowships.

We muse in the lights, sights, sounds, chorals, parades, memories, & anticipations.

We value the celebrations of the children, the parents, & the grandparents, with all friends & family.

We exchange our gifts, loves, greetings, with meanings, dreams & empathies.

We celebrate His First Advent & His Second Advent…

Our celebration is renewed now in the vital excitement of both, HIS salvation, & HIS Kingship:

We are Discipled to Live HIS Life-Style:

We commemorate His way of life invitations, & We practice His discipleship provocations.

We trust His absolute truth dictums, as Mary, pondering the deeper meanings, of HIS teachings.

We opt to believe “His Absolute Word”, Words of our CREATOR, for He is our authority by conviction!

We opt not to believe “Man’s Relative Word”, words of vacillation & contrived opinions!

We adopt His “World-view” taught in “The Beatitudes”!

We adopt His “World-view” taught in “The Sermon on the Mount”!

Jesus Christ’s “Life, Way and Truth”, contrasts this World’s World-view, with HIS.

We share & bear responsibility for our world, circumstances & influences, while living now, like Jesus.

We care about:

The eternal over the temporal, The heavenly over the earthly,

The right & true over the wrong & false,

The convictions of the heart which supersedes all opinions of man & of the mind!

God’s principles & absolutes are Biblical Truth & always Victorious!

God’s “Truth” always triumphs!

The relativistic secular humanistic vacillations of manufactured carnal atheistic assumptions always fails!

We conclude, expressing these reassurances:

Of our fidelity in marriage, to our big & growing family, & to our widening circle of friends,

Of this happy, healthy & well-adjusted life, right now & full of bright hopes for the next,

Of our continued good fortune with

Of our ministry-calling commitments, intentionally fulfilling effective service in ministry,

Of our joy, pleasure & phenomenal satisfaction in grandchildren, children, in-law children,

Of our parents, siblings & families, & friends,

Of HIS provisions, for abundant food, shelter & clothing, therewith content,

Of our cherished recollections, reminiscences & heart-memories,

Of the stations of our ministry,

Of the places of residence, &

Of you, like all of the other wonderful people that enrich our lives.

We pray that we all may be filled with:

The wonder & awe of Mary ,

The faith & obedience of Joseph ,

The marvel & joy of the Angels ,

The eagerness of the Shepherds,

The persistence, gifts & wisdom of the Magi,

1. Gold for the Newborn King,

2. Incense for the Sacrificial Priest as the Lamb of God, &

3. Myrrh for God’s Fiery Prophet,

The peace of the Christ-Child,

The authority of His Prophetic Scriptures,

The power of His Priestly Prayers, &

The passion for His Kingly Reign.

Duaine & Pamela Allen,

Isaiah 9:6-7 (New Living Translation)

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.

The government will rest on his shoulders.

And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, a Mighty God, Everlasting Father, & Prince of Peace.

His government & its peace will never end.

He will rule with fairness & justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity.

The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
