I know it is late again. We have just arrived home and have been gone since 7:30 this morning.
Tonight the deacons and their wives plus Jon and I held a special dinner in honor of our widows. It was a lovely evening filled with delicious food and wonderful singing from the Jackson Park Quartet and the Reeds. We also sang CHRISTmas songs all together. There were lights everywhere. No I am not talking about CHRISTtmas lights nor candle lights but smiles. Widows smiling. They were shining.
God loves and cares for the widows and the orphans. He has not abandoned them nor has He forgotten them. At CHRISTtmas time there are those around us who are lonely, sad or depressed. We can easily get so caught up in ourselves that we forget about those around us that need our attention. God wants us to love them. He wants us to reach out to them and let them know He hasn't left them.
Who has God purposely placed in your path that He wants you to demonstrate His love to? That widow neighbor or church member? That little boy or girl that grandparents are raising and he feels like he doesn't fit in anywhere? The single mom who can't seem to get it all done? The woman whose husband has left her for someone else? Ask God to show you who He wants you to reach out to with an act of kindness then look for the answer and obey.
I know a Man who left His home and took on flesh that I might know His love.
Merry CHRISTmas
