From all of us at Lifeline to seamen we want to wish you and your family a very

and love you have shown to the seamen during this time. I know that the high seas
can be a lonely place, especially when away from friends and family. A special
thanks to all who went caroling on the ships with Thomas.

We love you all and pray for a special blessing on your household this Christmas
season.

For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord!
