Good Morning,
My day began with prayer and a hot cup of Door County Highlander Grog Coffee. It is time for me to write and head out.
Luke 2:9-10 And angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were afraid. 10. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
This coming Saturday will be December 3rd and it seems as if December is arriving in a rush. My personal calendar is filling up quickly and I can't squeeze too much more into it.
One thing that is cemented in already (12/3) has our Saturday Evening church group going out Christmas Caroling after the evening service. Once the caroling is completed they will come back to the church for a soup dinner. Several kinds of soup will be available for the folks to sample and dine on. This has been somewhat of a tradition for about 25 years or maybe a little more.
We will be visiting a home for the elderly that is walking distance from our church. My wife and some of the other ladies will have little gift bags filled with usable items like lip balm and lotion. They will be given out to all the residents within the home and their attendant for the evening.
As December begins and your calendars start to fill up, have you reserved some time to serve others in your community, church, or organizations you belong to? There should be time allotted to do so. in addition take your children with you and teach them the value of reaching out to others instead of looking inward. They might not ever forget the smile they receive from someone they helped to find Christmas Joy.
Food for thought.
Marty
