2010 CHRISTMAS GREETING FROM DAD & MOM

As we recall back over the past 57 Christmas’s we have spent together as husband and wife, one thing stands out. We do not remember one gift we have received or given that truly stands out, but what we do remember is the gift that we received as the result of the birth of Jesus Christ.

We are deeply grateful for Heavenly Father’s plan, which allows us to gain a body, have free agency to make our own decisions based on our knowledge and our understanding. Knowing we would make mistakes and sin, he provided a Savior to come into this world and live a perfect life and then suffer for our sins and make atonement for them so we could once again live for eternity with our Heavenly Father and his Son our Savior, Jesus Christ. We truly express our gratitude for this every day and often many times during the day.

We are also very grateful for those sweet spirits who chose to come to us and allow us to be their earthly parents. Each one of our children is very special to us and we have unconditional love for them. They are also special gifts to us.

As our children have matured and have become adults we have gained additional gifts of new sons and daughters through marriage. We are also grateful for their children, our grandchildren, who are precious gifts to all of us. As we have watched, some of our grandchildren have married and now have children of their own, our great-grandchildren, who are more precious gifts.

So as we look back at Christmas’s spent in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Utah and England, what we remember and the gift we are so thankful to have received is you, all of you, and the opportunity to be an eternal family.

With much love and appreciation for what each of you mean to us,

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Mom and Dad Agle
