Merry Christmas!

"Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart" Luke 2:19

Part of the Christmastime is presents! Yeah! Big ones! small ones, and teeeny tiny little bitty ones in a stocking hung by the fireplace... OOOOH, Yeah!

But some of the best gifts in the world do not come wrapped up in shiny paper. The gift of friends and family , whether it is the family we were born into or one the universe has provided for us. How do you wrap up love, hugs, laughter and the gift of time spent with loved ones whether born of blood or gathered through your years?

How about camaraderie, harmony, peace and personal prayer? They come to us in various ways during the year, each gift we receive to be treasured for sure, but, how glorious it will be if we will just let it this abundance flow through us to share with others every day throughout the year.

His name is Emmanuel, "God is with you " for ALL men, amen.

Blessings,

"Abide in my love" John 15:9
As you light the 3rd candle of the Advent this Sunday and stare into the flame let us be reminded of that love within our own biological bubble radiating out to all those around us.
Let us all so recall John 14, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you" In order for us to enjoy the flickering flame of love radiating to unite with those children of God within other countries, we have to first establish the peace within. To do so we must remember what comes out of our mouth goes directly to our ears and causes impulses to our body for some sort of activity. With prayer peace comes over you and only sounds of tolerance, love and respect are demonstrated.
Indeed let us rejoice in the time of the year with love flowing out from individual to individual, following that one shinning star in life all around the earth not only just the next few days,,,,,but for days and months beyond
Blessings,

January is coming, quickly! Are you ready to take the challenge? Can you make it for 21 consecutive days? 8 out of 10 will fail and have to start over---or you up to it? Details December 30 th at the Sunday celebration. Game? or lame? up to you!

YOU DID IT! Thanks to all of you who sent in funds and soft animals, our house is back to the usual cluttered self. 133 soft cuddly bundles of comfort were turned over to Dawn for donation to the Haley House, the place families with little children get to reacquaint them selves with their parent's wounded from Afghanistan and Iraq. We got everything from buffalos ,to unicorns, to bears ,to fuzzy caterpillars . Once again thank you all.

Welcome I would like to remind you of our logo.

Please notice the rising sun above a beach with a palm tree. The sun reflects into the stream which flows into New Day Unity Fellowship.

You will also note a butterfly.

Some believe butterflies do not have a long life span, but they believe in error. The butterfly goes through much to become the creature of beauty that it is. It can remain dormant in its pupal/larvae stage even in so much time to survive winters to become a butterfly Adult butterflies can live up to nearly a year.

Humans on average take 266 days to produce a newborn child. Patience wins as eager parents await the birth of their children.

The birthing process also has its drama. Not always so easy and sometimes long and painful, the birth process doesn't always happen as expected.

If we are waiting on a hamster, we will see its young in 16.5 days, a ground squirrel in 28 days or a chipmunk in 31.


But what if you are an elephant do you stomp your feet in impatience? Does an elephant give up because butterflies evolve, children are born? An elephant still waits and those chipmunks and hamsters keep adding up under their feet.

Elephants must wait and average of 645 days for the birth of their young.

Now you are probably wondering what all this talk of birth and transformation is all about.

Time. Patience. Faith. Do we have these three things? Are we willing to give these three things in the birth process of our Fellowship? And your pursuits, you may substitute any other word for Fellowship.

I don’t know about you, but New Day Unity Fellowship is an idea that is bigger than a butterfly, it is bigger than any one of us, I believe it is even bigger than any elephant and if it takes 645 days to bring forth an elephant then I have patience and I have faith and God willing the time to wait upon this miracle we call New Day Unity Fellowship.

"No thank you, I ate today, there are those over there worse off then me!"
This was a very unselfish remark from one of the 32 people that the team from New Day encountered Saturday....look at this closely---what a message! How many of us know what day it is by the fact we ate this particular day or not. This person only owned a cardboard box and a small bag of personal treasures yet the interest shown to her as a child of god, went right to her heart. Out of concern for the others around her, she would relinquish the offering of food so that others might eat. Much more of this day could be elaborated upon, but the simple act of this homeless lady said it all of Hebrews 13:16 "do not forget, do good and to share "
Blessings,

The soft stuffed animals are starting to come in now, what a joy, I feel like I am in the middle of a fuzzy warehouse of love.

Just fills me with such emotion of gratitude! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you God, for this opportunity to possibly ease the tension of The children seeing their mommies or daddies for the first time after the parent has returned from Iraq or Afghanistan in a wounded state,


Being a veteran, a VA Hospital Chaplain's assistant, I can not express enough the comfort these little stuffed animals will bring to a child that has to face his mom or dad recovering in a hospital. The parent in a condition other than the image the day the soldier parent left home as they deployed overseas. In some cases this will be of a traumatic mind setting event for the young child, so it is, that, I thank you with a deepest heartfelt thank you in advance for your donations from your heart to some unknown child....Fred

SOUP IS ON!!!!! The team that distributed the soup Saturday was backed by the efforts of many of the members of the fellowship. It would take too many pages to list you all and I am sure I would forget someone,,,(I am just not that good a typist) none the less, thank you all.....two things we found most requested were more of the daily words, and water...the water we will budget for, but, if any of you have any old daily words let us know. I will pick them up locally or please mail them to our post office box and we will ensure they are distributed with each monthly soup distribution.
We will be distributing soup once a month until April when the trend is for the homeless children of God to go back north.

This project requires 8 ounce cups or soup bowls with lids and plastic spoons, we will most graciously accept any donations to assist this endeavor.
