Wasn't going to do a letter at all this year.
And this really isn't one.
But I felt I still needed to say;
God is on HIS throne!
We have been been pushed and pulled and put through the wringer, in every direction this year, but God is ever faithful to us.
📖 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 2 Corinthians 4:7-10
He has seen our tears and heard our cries and holds us in the palm of His hand....He has sustained us, as He will in 2021.
📖 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10
May His Light, love and protection be yours this season and through out the new year!
📖 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’ Numbers 6:24-26
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’ Numbers 6:24-26
'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Covid 2020)
'Twas the night before Christmas and everywhere in the house
There was hardly a noise, everyone in a pout.
Our gatherings were small or not even at all.
With masks on our faces we had to be back at least six paces.
With meetigs, classes and celebrations on Zoom or
video chatting with those in other rooms.
Where is our Christmas? Where is the Spirit? Why bother, why try to even do it?
BUT
We remember the manger where a small child lay,
a miracle baby asleep in the hay.
We think of the angels that herald His birth,
caroling the tidings of peace on earth.
We see the lights on the houses and lights on the trees and are reminded that He is our light in dark times such as these.
He came into a world full of sin,
that hasn't changed, but because of Him.
We have hope, peace, joy, and love, all that come from the Father above.
Jesus rose from the dead so our sins can be forgiven
and we can hold on to the promise that someday we will be in heaven.
The Spirit of Christmas can be with everyone,
If we believe in God the Father who gave us His Son!
