Around this time of the year many folks are thinking about sending out Christmas cards. I have one sister who sends them out the day after Thanksgiving. Hers is the one that I receive first every year. There are lots and lots of ways to send out your Christmas greetings. Some people use Christmas time as an opportunity to send out an annual update on what has happened throughout the year in their family. Others, like myself, enjoy hand-making cards for the loved ones in our life. If you are not into letter-writing or home-made crafts, you can get lovely preprinted cards from just about any store. Something that makes a card special is a personal message on the inside. Why not add a great Bible verse to your Christmas card? Here are twenty verses that I think will work well no matter what your medium for mailing the Christmas greetings.
