Merry Christmas from the Rothmanns

Christmas is the time each year where we write a poem to spread some cheer. It’s the perfect season to realize how God has been at work in all our lives. In each and every moment and in every detail, His hand can be found. He does not fail. As this year is done and a new one will start, Loren’s temp job ends –from Wells Fargo he must part. Our new jobs at JAARS are close at hand. God will use us in His timing. It’s all in His plan. What a blessing to wait for and see God’s provision as we walk in faith toward our Wycliffe vision. New partners are joining our ministry team. They pray and encourage us and give us new steam! One third of our monthly financial need. That’s all that is left before we proceed! The boys have done well in the seventh grade. Homeschooling is certainly no nap in the shade. Watching them grow and seeing them learn surpasses any career or money we could earn. Michelle plays the flute and Zack plays piano. Three boys love Scouting, and two take Taekwondo! The water pipe burst and the house was a mess. Our friends helped us clean up. Oh how we’re blessed! In the midst of the holiday planning and stir, our days are crazy and gone in a whir. We shop for hours for just the right thing, but only one Gift can make our souls sing. That gift is Jesus, our precious Redeemer! He came to save us so with God we’d find favor. It’s said so much, let it not be cliché: Jesus is the reason for this happy holiday! May your blessings at Christmas and in the new year not lack! Merry Christmas to all,
