christmas card written by papa wilzbacher.

i would like to share what my dad wrote for our family's Christmas card this year. it is exploding with truth and love.

'Twas a week before Christmas and Mike just found out, 
"You're not doing a letter?" he said with a pout. 
"No, it's not on the list this year" Julie said. 
"But feel free to do one yourself instead."
So here I am not, tapping away,
Wondering what in the world to say.
Rather than recall the events of 2011,
I think I'd prefer us to focus on heaven.
It might be nice if all roads led there,
But in the end would that really be fair?
Not to our Savior who hung on tree
So we could be with Him for eternity. 
The gift of salvation is ours to receive. 
All we need do is choose to believe. 
If you already have, then don't be silent- 
The world needs to know why His Son was sent. 

Christmas Blessings from the Wilzbachers-
Mike, Julie, Eric, Jordan, and Jillian


(also, not sure why but for some reason i think this song fits.
they sang it at hope cc for offering awhile ago.)
 This is War- Dustin Kensrue  This is war like you ain't seen.
This winter's long, it's cold and mean.
With hangdog hearts we stood condemned,
But the tide turns now at Bethlehem.

This is war and born tonight,
The Word as flesh, the Lord of Light,
The Son of God, the low-born king;
Who demons fear, of whom angels sing.

This is war on sin and death;
The dark will take it's final breath.
It shakes the earth, confounds all plans;
The mystery of God as man
