Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

We are busy preparing for Christmas, sermon for Sunday, a Christmas Eve Eve service Sunday evening, caroling in the park on Saturday, and Christmas Day Dinner. Wow, I'm tired already.

I pray each of you have a great Christmas and thanks for being there for us during this year.

In my reading this week I read from The Sower:

PLANNING AHEAD
It was the Sunday before Christmas and the teacher of the fifth grade class was reviewing the details of the birth of Jesus. With carefully chosen words she talked about the difficult journey to Bethlehem. Then she said with sadness, “And when they arrived, there was no room for them in the inn.
Wasn’t that terrible?”
George, after thinking for a moment about the vacations his family had taken and the plans they made said without thinking, “Why didn’t Joseph make a reservation?”

There will be many around us during this holiday season who will make no room - no reservation - for Jesus to be with them once again this year. We often remind each other that “He’s the reason for the Season” but do not take time to explain to what that reason is. We are quick to condemn those who want to take “Christ out of Christmas” but do not take time to plant the message of Christ in their minds and hearts. We place the manger scene under the tree, cover it with presents and then wrap it back up and forget about His birth and its significance for another year.

Hanging next to Jesus on a cross was a thief who was dying for crimes he committed. In his final moments he turned to Him and said, “Jesus, remember me.”
And Jesus said, “I will. Today you will be with me in paradise.”


Today is the best day to make your reservation to be with Him if you have not done so.

Scripture for Today: Luke 2:1-7 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

LaVon and I love you and are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the Living Water with the world through the RV ministry..


Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

Don

PS. Just wanted to share a beautiful gift that we received from God, our Creator, last evening...
