Merry CHRISTmas!!!

Merry CHRISTmas everybody!!!
This is such a season of wonder and delight. I pray that this season you take time to not only look at all HE has done for us......through us......and Praise God in us............ WOW! And that it's not only about the gifts that we get today, but about the gifts we GIVE........especially to Him. We are reminded of what Mary said, as recorded in Luke 1:38: "Mary said...be it unto me according to thy word." What "word" has the Lord spoken to you? What "word" has been prophesied to you through someone else? Do you think you deserve it? Do you think you've earned it? Have you got it "all figured out how it will come to pass"? Well Praise God! we don't have to have it all figured out, or have earned it or even deserve it. I pray that we walk in those things and "be it unto me according to thy word". It's just according to what Father God says. He doesn't have to qualify who gets it, when they get it and if they deserve it. He's the best dad, and He loves to give liberally to His children. GO GOD!!!
I've heard it said, "It's better to give than to receive.".....and God does shower us with His gifts everyday........but this season and this coming year, let us resolve to GIVE!!! Give to others in need......give and use our gifts and talents to bring our Father glory......and just plain 'ol give of ourselves. I bet you will be surprised as you begin to do this, how much MORE the Lord gives back (even though that is NOT the purpose of doing it!). Just give it a try. As Pastor Gwen always says, "JUST DO IT!!!!"

God's love & mine,
