This is the picture on our Christmas Card this year. It was taken in front of the Hennepin Avenue bridge in Minneapolis Minnesota on November 27, 2009.
Below this picture you will find the letter I included in our Christmas Card this year.
Merry Christmas from the Oseids!
A bit of Oseid News:
A few days after Christmas, Greg and Katrina will celebrate 15 years of marriage. We are grateful to God for that.
We have found a wonderful church home in Bible Baptist Church (in Otsego). We are learning so much about God’s Word there. We are so thankful!
Greg is on the job hunt, and God is sustaining us in the process. One way He is doing that is by allowing Katrina to continue working at MCN (7 years now).
A few thoughts about Christmas:
I recently heard the song It’s about the Cross by Go Fish. I was reminded that as a Christian, I too am susceptible to getting caught up in the sentimentality of Christmas and emotions of it without truly reflecting on what it means. I like the message of the song and want to share the words with you.
It’s not just about the manger where the baby lay
It’s not all about the angels who sang for Him that day
It’s not just about the shepherds or the bright and shining star
It’s not all about the wise men who traveled from afar
It’s not just about the presents underneath the tree
It’s not just about the feeling that season brings to me
It’s not just about coming home to be with those you love
It’s not all about the beauty in the snow I’m dreaming of
It’s about the cross
It’s about my sin
It’s about how Jesus came to be born once so that we could be born again
It’s about the stone that was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life some day
It’s about the cross
Philippians 2:5-8 says:
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in the appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Remembering the cross this Christmas season,
Greg and Katrina Oseid
