Dear Moment Family,

Merry Christmas! I hope to see you Christmas Eve, but if I don’t, please know that Bre and I are deeply thankful for you. 2011 has been such an incredible year and 2012 already plans to be even better. I know there are many things that can make a MERRY Christmas into a MESSY Christmas, so I’m praying this very moment that God allow the holiday to be one of pure joy for you. I hope that deep down you find your soul resonating with gratitude for the first and greatest gift of Christmas – true love, in a manger, showering the world with grace and hope.

If you feel insecure or depressed, please know that you matter. That you are a valuable part of the kingdom of God. If you’ve made mistakes, please know that they’re gone just like last year and that His mercy is new just like next year. If you’re overwhelmed or running on empty, know that in weakness His strength takes over. If you’ve lost someone, know that His embrace is available, safe, and constant. Let’s ALL be praying over those in the world today who don’t feel rest, have food, or know Jesus.

Thank you for being the best family in the world! I know that your commitment to Moment is secondary to your commitment to Jesus Christ. And nothing could be better! May we always treasure the One who gave us life, and give everything, so that He be glorified! May He find our family faithful and one day say, “Well done my good servants.”

Praying peace, joy, fun, laughter, gifts, giving, and memories for you…

Tony, Bre, Ethan, & Peyton
