===Opening===
Char: "Good evening everyone. This is [[Midwayer]] Char. I am here to greet you all on this cold [[winter]]’s night in the mountains of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Idaho North Idaho]. Let us give tribute to Christ [[Michael]] in this season of celebration and holidays.
===Lesson===
"It is a time to [[share]] with our fellow [[comrades]] and to see the delight of the children as they [[dream]] of gifts of dolls and toy trucks. A time of friendly greetings of ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Happy New Year,’ and more than usual [[smiles]] on the faces of everyone you meet.
The gift of [[life]] also extends to the many who donate the ultimate gift of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_donors body organs] to give [[hope]] to the brother or sister who could not continue to live without a new [[heart]], liver, or kidney. It seems one person’s sorrow of losing a loved one in [[death]] is another person’s hope for life.
"This hits close to [[home]] for this receiver, who is praying for such a [[miracle]]. A son-in-law who has lain in a [[hospital]] bed for six weeks already, has been close to death many times, and his time is running out without a liver transplant being available.
"A [[family]] holds onto each other, and [[prays]] only for Gods Will to be done. A [[wife]] and two sons are counting their [[blessings]] for the close love they have been able to [[share]]. For them it will be a Christmas where the biggest and best gift of all will be that they are together.
"I have been here with Sandy and her [[family]], constantly, during these past weeks and have watched as they give each other unconditional love. I have witnessed the many heartaches and [[tears]] when this man seems so close to [[death]], and the [[laughter]] and happy tears when he rallies again to fight for his life.
"Christ [[Michael]] paid this man a visit when he was in a [[coma]], and he now knows where he is going if he is to leave this life, still a young man.
===Closing===
"That [[decision]] is up to God. Keeping our [[faith]] is up to us."
