Hi Tennis Fans,

 The Kenny Huffman Tennis Classic Committee wants to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We look with anticipation of what the new year will bring, and we are thankful for all participants, volunteers, and sponsors KHTC throughout the years.

With winter weather upon us it is difficult to practice but you can work out and stay in shape and practice a new serve or some way to improve your game.
 

 Tennis teaches so many positive characteristics. It is a great sport. It was not accidental that I met my first love, Kenny Huffman, on then tennis courts. He also loved tennis. Even though he was 4 years older than me, I had my eyes and my heart zoned in on him. I am so thankful for the years we had together. Due to his untimely death from cancer in 1973, sprang forth the Kenny Huffman Memorial tournament and scholarship.

         The Christmas season is one of the happiest times of the year for most of us.  Homes and business are all decorated with beautiful lights and most people are kinder and sweeter.  We are all celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus.  Churches are putting on plays and music programs in celebration and gifts are shared in love.

         It can also be a very difficult time for those who have bad illness or the death of a loved one.  My heart is full of compassion for you.  I have been through both of those.  Our Lord Jesus is a GOD full compassion and steadfast love.  He can help fill that void.  The Word says in Psalms 30:5,"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  Your story doesn't end in the night. The night is not permanent. When things aren’t working out, try not to be discouraged, it's simply a night season. You may not see anything happening, but God is working. I have experienced this many times.
       

Throughout the month of December practice being a kinder person, be generous, and of course, buy your tennis friends a tennis item, or send an inspirational Quote from a famous tennis player to encourage them.  The game of tennis begins with love.  Show some love.

       I will leave you with these quotes:  "Your only limit is your mind."  "On good days work hard.  On bad days work harder." And start where you are, use what you have do the best you can." By Arthur Ashe.
