has not always been a year of happiness &#8211; our lives have been touched by sadness as we have watched family members and friends suffer the ravages of cancer, but we have also seen God&#8217;s

come with expectant hearts ready to receive God&#8217;s greatest gift to us.\u00a0 I am reminded of the song by Henry Smith which says:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Give thanks with a grateful heart<br \/>\nGive thanks unto the Holy One<br \/>\nGive thanks because He&#8217;s given Jesus Christ, His Son.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Give thanks with a grateful heart<br
