In all your reading this season, please remember to include the account of the birth of Jesus given to us in the Scripture. Remember that the first schools in our country were fashioned to teach the children how to read God's Word. Thereby, they were bringing up good and righteous people to be the next leaders of the New World.
There is an abundant of wonderful Christmas literature to read this time of year. Let us not neglect the greatest Words of them all.
