In a Manger

Merry Christmas!

My husband is what is called an Association Mission Strategist. Ours is an association of 23 churches, each one autonomous. As an association, the churches unite for training, ministry, and more. My husband's job in part is to help oversee that. 

At Christmastime we always send a handmade card (by me) and poem (written by my husband) to each ministry family in our association. As is my norm, I'm sharing the card I made for them here on my blog on Christmas Day.

Here is this year's card:

I usually make all of the cards exactly alike but this time I did use some different color combinations as seen in the following photos.
