"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.
