WITHOUT EVEN A DRUM . . .

Christmas and other special holidays send us into such a tailspin! 

• We spend money we don’t have
• load up on food we don’t need or want
• we lose sleep
• we are never satisfied with our results
• nothing seems ever enough
• we’re anxious for it to be over

The gift . . . the best gift . . . the only one that truly touches hearts and changes lives . . . did not and cannot be tucked in a box.  It can be given, be shared, it never runs out, is never the wrong size or color, it doesn’t make you fat nor require words.

It was and is and always will be LOVE.

We can share it daily!

WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

 

   

Come!

How Can I Do Christmas When . .

. . . this is all I have to give?

 

It’s the best gift of all!  

THEFT!

Do not accept information from the WRONG source!  This is a blessed time of year as we prepare for the Lord’s birth, but it can be painful and stressful as well.  Why? To name a few:

1. budget
2. grief
3. away from family
4. illness
5. loneliness

The evil one always seeks to steal our joy and he does it well!  PLEASE do not let him.  In Christ, you are loved with a love you can NEVER LOSE!  BELIEVE!  It is the best gift ever and one you cannot lose!

 

SILENT AND BREATHLESS!

The service was coming to a close…

all was dark and silent;

but for the glow of a single candle,

much like the star on that special night.

Darkness soon changed to a joyous glow

as we all shared in the light!

Each hand held a lit candle

and each heart held the best gift of all . ..

an invitation to eternal life!

THIS IS HE!

Recieving three gifts,

born in meager surroundings,

came our infant King!

NOT JUST AN ORDINARY DAY!

It Began Like Every Other Day . . . But Then

A simple peasant girl

Answered yes

To a question

Which surely shocked her

And the world was changed

Forever.

Thanks, Mary.

The magi leave one union

To find another.
