Wishing all a very Blessed and Merry Christmas.
Even though I seldom experience a great Christmas spirit any longer, last Sunday evening was about as close as I can get. I was blessed to work with some young people, many of whom come from challenging lives.
These young people are part of a Bible study outreach program, conducted by a God-led couple; who I consider friends. The church that I attend recently agreed with my request to grant the outreach access to our under utilized Sunday School building.
After only a few hours of rehearsal, we conducted the major part of the Candle Light service in our church. The youngsters read the Real Christmas story from Luke 2, and sang Christmas carols.
The energy and enthusiasm of these young people was infectious for me and the small congregation. For that point in time, I found Christmas spirit once again: some of which is still with me.
At a time in history where the Church and religion are under attack from many directions, I find hope in the young people who are literally hungry for adequate sustenance, and also searching for food for the soul. Filling both hungers is an opportunity to work with God, which is quickly becoming a labor of love.
If there is hope for the free world to stay free, it may be through children and young people such as I was blessed to work with. Praying for those willing to become the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus, to build up a nation of young Christians; blessing the world with Christ’s peace and love. Please consider your role in this wonderful cause…

Merry Christmas dear reader. Here in central Texas, Christmas Day is dawning clear and crisp outside.
This morning, as I sit in the stillness before the day gets started, I thank God for the baby Jesus; whose birthday we celebrate today. Just as the rising sun begins to light up the room and brighten another day, I know the light of salvation and joy that Jesus the Christ, provides to me.
This day I pray that each of us is blessed with the presence of the Prince of Peace in our lives. For those traveling, I pray God’s protection and guidance, and safe arrival at their destination.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son to pay the price for our salvation. Please fill this day with the joy and peace, only You can provide. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
