This season has always been a time for us to let people know about who Jesus really is. In past years Listen Up! has taken the time to present the whole story of Jesus in music. This year we went to Haarlem to sing with some kids from the BOB (the after-school daycare with the Bible) for a home for the elderly, sharing the message and the joy of Jesus. It was thrilling to see how the members even came out on their balconies to listen and to sing together with us, celebrating the goodness of God.A few days later we welcomed Willemien to our house for Christmas day. She is such a part of our family. It was great to be able to have Stephan in the living room with us (via Skype). He was able to laugh and joke with Sean, greet Willemien and share in a cup of coffee (kind of) for a little bit of the day.
We are so thankful for how blessed we truly are with so many things, so many opportunities, and especially all the people in our lives.
These are beautiful photos! We, too, have found that many are ready to hear about Jesus at Christmas time. It would be a shame to waste that opportunity! Amy Raab
