Life in the Philippines

Time zones can sure be hard to keep straight when you first move. But I know for sure it is Christmas Morning here and still the night of Christmas Eve back in the states where all the rest of our family is.  But no matter where you are, when your day of celebration arrives, and for every other day our wish for you is peace, happiness, and love. The world is going through so much these days that sometimes we wonder how we will make it through it all.  We will, we just have to have faith and trust that we will be cared and provided for.  In our military life we have made friends from many countries so the rest of today’s message is to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of you.  I’m not sure the language is just right because it came from various sources on the internet but if the country is on the list below it’s because we’ve either spent Christmas there before, or we know someone who currently is. God Bless you all.
