Christ in "Christ"mas

Pictures of the forgotten children of the season.



Someone, somewhere is suffering - not necessarily for physical commodities but for a spiritual resurrection. Therefore, in remembrance of the Christ in "Christ"mas, let's allow Him to be seen in us. It is our choice as to how we do it and to whom, whether young or old or in-between, but to do it we must.

For many years know my wife and I have kept a running balance on what we spend for Christmas. Then we tithe on that amount to Christmas for Christ, some may not know of the program.
Can I help all those in need? NEVER! But I will try to help all that I can.

Oh, Sis. Hopper, this has touched my heart. Yes! We must share Christ at Christmas time. It can't be a selfish time. Lord, help us to see the needy in spirit and flesh; and give to them of our abundance which You have given to us.

Some of my first thoughts, after looking at these pictures, were how depressing, how sad. Then I remembered why HE came - Isaiah 61 prophesied of it, and Jesus himself confirmed it in Luke chapter 4. With His Spirit inside us, we can make a difference, too.

Mervi, Tena & Kathy,
Yes, we can make a difference - in some way, somehow.

Speaking of Christmas and the Christmas for Christ offering. Our Pastor Wayne Trout decided to do it different this year. We are giving our offering in Chrstmas cards this Sunday morning. The cards will then be posted on a bulletin board just like when we get cards from our friends and family.
