Christmas time is filled with lots of promises from kids (and adults!) who promise they will not be naughty....empty promises of being nice while sneaking cookies or peeking at presents!
BUT....CHRISTmas is a season designed to help us remember the best Promise ever kept! Since Adam and Eve, God had promised a Savior. A Redeemer. His Son. And God ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS keeps His promises!
Jay and Rachel needed to own this since Christmas Eve 2010 when Trey was diagnosed with cancer. Four years of treatments and surgeries and near death experiences. Where were God and His promises then?

A promise to never leave them? Promise Kept!
A promise to always provide for them? Promise Kept!
A promise to be their Provider and Shield, Sustainer and Rock? Promise Kept!

But what about 11-5-14? A day etched in my heart forever when God took Trey home?
"For God so loved the world that He gave his One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 Promise Kept!
Despite what it looks like right now, or feels like, or seems like....God IS keeping His promises! Learn them. Share them with the people He has given to you.
Seek the Promise Keeper.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." Isaiah 40:29-31
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
