Dear Family & Friends, The true meaning of Christmas is love. God loved us and therefore provided a way for us to spend eternity with him. He gave His only Son to take the punishment for our sins. That price was paid in full, freeing us from condemnation if we accept His gift of love. Love is the heart and center of Christianity. Jesus told us this in Mark 12:29-31: “‘The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God will all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second [commandment] is this: love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these.’” This is repeated in Romans 13:8-10, and continually throughout the Bible. The spirit and essence of Christian belief is love. God is love. Jesus is love. Christmas is about love. Christians are not always a good example of love, which makes it important that non-Christians remember there is a difference between the spirit of Christian belief, and how that belief is exemplified through men and women, who are ever and always a poor example. If you don’t believe in God or in Jesus, this does not mean that you can’t embrace love as the true meaning of Christmas. Take this Christmas season as a time to show love to your friends, family, and to strangers you may encounter. Whether it’s a gift, a kind word, an encouraging pat on the back, or a donation to charity, do your best to be a beacon of love in this world, because the world needs it. By doing these things, we will embody the true meaning of Christmas. For me, I am committing my life to showing love to animals. When I started an animal lovers group at a church several years ago, though not exactly original or creative, the name to call the group came to me immediately. Of course, the perfect name could only be Noahs Ark. My lifelong goal is to be a modern day version of Noah. I have something to share with you my friends and family. As a gift to my feathered kids Dudley and Sing-Sing, I am planning on adopting an Umbrella Cockatoo named Calvin. Because I strongly believe in always taking a responsible approach, being methodical and thoughtful, I will soon begin gathering information about Calvin such as health history and fully research all important areas that may impact me, Dudley, and Sing-Sing by adding Calvin to the Flotron Feathered Family. Ill be sure to keep you updated during the journey toward adopting Calvin. I must confess that Im really excited over the possibility of Calvin being a new member of my family.
