THURSDAY

I love Scriptures about encouragement. This may not be a “Christmas passage”, but people all around us need “encouragement”, especially at Christmas.

The Senior Adult Luncheon went on as planned despite the weather. The food and service were wonderful. Ladies on the Senior Adult Committee did the wonderful cooking and kitchen work. Teenage girls from the church were our very helpful servers. Aaron DeBlanc beautifully played carols and hymns for us.

Pray for Jane Wickham as she continues to overcome her surgeries at home and for Andy Taylor to overcome his issues so he can be “home for Christmas”. Pray for the “homebound” to receive some Christmas spirit and joy by friends, both neighbors and church people. Pray for all the others in your family, your neighborhood, your S.S. class, etc. who need special Christmas this week.

The storm has passed. Next weather issue – low temperatures next week. Don’t get caught unprepared!

The next few days will be perfect for sharing Christmas cheer and the real reason for Christmas with others.

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
