My Christmas Wish

The song says . . .

"No more lives torn apart,
Then wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list."

Songwriters: Linda Thompson / David Foster

This Christmas we took time out of our busy holiday schedules to show some women that the body of Christ cares. We read the Christmas story to the children and moms at a local shelter in our city. Our ladies in our group brought goodies & drinks as well as a lot of love and the light of Jesus. The evening there gave us an opportunity to share, listen and pray with the women and children.

Their situations are delicate, most having hard times, in different ways, but the struggle is evident. Women not having a sense of self-worth or relying on someone else to be their source, sometimes to their detriment. Only the good news of the gospel can change these lives. What a privilege to represent our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ! 

2nd Corinthians 4:16-18 "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."
