His life teaches us to love others, as He first loved us.\n\nChrist\u2019s example calls us to comfort the hurting, support the weary, and serve those in need.\n\nAs we dwell on the wonders of this season, let\u2019s remember to express gratitude for the men and women in uniform who are spending this season far from home and their families to protect the freedoms we hold dear.\n\nWe are also thankful for our first responders and healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe and healthy.\n\nMy prayer for every Mississippian is that your Christmas is filled with hope, love, and peace. And may God bless you in the year ahead.\n\nFrom my family to yours, I wish you a blessed Christmas and a new year full of promise.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.hydesmith.senate.gov/hyde-smith-wishes-mississippians-hope-love-peace-2025-christmas-message"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8072272650897503, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
