MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
As we celebrate the birth of Our Savior this Christmas season Sayre’s staff would like
each of our residents to know how much we love them
and how honored we are to serve them.
~
1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been
born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

As Long as There's a Christmas
Christmas Star,
or
Weapon of
Mass Destruction?
by Jack Zavada
The first few lights glow brightly,
as you watch the season start.
You know you should be happy,
but don't feel it in your heart.
Dana’s expression looks
like this could be used
for either. Better play it
safe and steer clear
while she assembles it.
Instead you think about a time when
someone laughed with you, and the love
you shared then filled your soul.
But too soon it was through.
So Christmas comes with sadness,
and a yearning deep inside,
a thirst for love and peace and hope
that will not be denied.

the heartache that you bear.
I listen and I cry with you
through every single prayer.
"I promised in the manger
and fulfilled it from the cross.
I built a home that's filled with love
for all those who are lost.
"So let me come and heal your heart
and give you rest within.
For my way is kind and gentle
and will bring you joy again."
His words still echo through the years,

It is good to be children
sometimes, and never
better than at Christmas
when its mighty Founder
was a child Himself.
