Letter

Dear Readers,

This issue touches my heart so deeply because we are celebrating the holidays in our one-year anniversary issue ... how amazing is this? We have made it one year! Glory be to God, and it’s going to be a celebration!! I’m still in utter shock ... blown away, if you can imagine. Our last issue of the year is absolutely spectacular. For starters, we have the glamorous and resilient woman of God, Tammy Franklin, as our cover feature. Her dynamic interview alongside her stunning photo spread will leave you speechless. And if that’s not enough, we sat down to enjoy a heart-warming conversation with actress and singer

Brely Evans for our “Let Your Light Shine” feature. On every page you will notice her eye-popping glow that jumps off her images, and you will truly understand why her light shines from within. In this holiday issue you will get to meet so many amazing and virtuous women whose powerful testimonies will leave you inspired and refreshed to celebrate Jesus and make Him a focus of your holiday conversations. When you’re spending time with family, when you’re enjoying hugs and laughter, why wouldn’t you give God extra thanks this year? See these are all God’s gifts, the gifts we sometimes take for granted. Do you understand that everything we have belongs to our Heavenly Father? He loves you so much that he has gifted you with beautiful vessels in the form of human beings to offer you His unconditional love, joy, and comfort. Isn’t that just amazing? There’s no greater gift than love, and God is love. This is what the holiday season means to me and how we should always desire to be. Please try your best to forgive all of those who have hurt you. Spend as much time as you can with your family and friends. Make each moment count. We are all gifts, all extremely special to our Father.

And as His children, we have all been created in His image and must live to do what’s pleasing to Him. So, the next time someone is hurting, don’t hesitate to offer your loving words of encouragement or just give a simple hug. Your smile and laughter can brighten someone’s day. See, it’s the little things that have the biggest impact. Now this is what I call “gift giving.” Happy Holidays to you and yours from The MB Mag Family!

Everything comes from the Lord. All things were made because of him and will return to him. Praise the Lord forever! Amen. —Romans 11:36
