We are deeply thankful and grateful to all of you who are with us on this journey. We know that many have dropped off over the last 20 months, but you are still here!! YOU are still with us and that is such a blessing. I realize it is a sacrifice to stay with us and trudge this epic journey. Your sacrifice is not in vain. It IS acknowledged. It IS felt. It IS appreciated. We pray that it is returned tenfold.
This Christmas season, please don't lose sight of the real reason we celebrate. We celebrate because our Redeemer came into this world to bring us hope... to bring us reconciliation with our Creator. He came to live the only spotless life ever lived so that it could be offered as a sacrifice of atonement for our sinfulness. What an amazing truth!
Lets remember that we are messengers of HIS message. We are to behave in ways that reflect Christ and are a stark contrast to the behvior of the world - those apart from Christ. Lets keep our minds in the Word, our hearts in worship, and our will in line with the Spirit. This will ensure our ability to be light in the darkness - what an honor. Care less for the trappings that distract and care more for the people who need a message of hope eternal. This is the prayer for my family as well.
We pray blessings over you. We pray for you: peace, love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control, gentleness, faithfulness. We pray that your roots grow deeper in Him so that your branches and fruit may reach farther and farther for the Kingdom.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
