Merry Christmas from the Shulls!


For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6

From our family to yours, we’re wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

My prayer this morning is that if you don’t know the real reason why we celebrate…the joy, peace, love and salvation that comes from having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that you’ll pray about that today.  Please know that you can always email me about it too and you can read my post on Finding Faith HERE.

Thank you so much, Narci for taking our annual family pictures.  We are so thankful for you!!

Friends, we’re sending you so much love today and this holiday season.

 

Many thanks to my talented friends who bless my family each year with amazing cards and photographs.  Thank you Andrea and Narci for being a part of our family’s Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you all!

    The two things I love the most about these pictures: 1) the pic where no one is holding/hugging their own child and 2) Madeley has a sibling’s arm wrapped around her in every picture, I’m thinking she might be the favorite
