Let this Christmas season remind you that God knows you
completely and wants you to get to know Him. And take
advantage of the gift He offers and rejoice always.

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The storms of life prove the strength of our anchor.
(Our daily Bread)

SCRIPTURE:
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.
Isaiah 53:4

This is a special and wonderful time of year for many, but for some
it is not... be aware of those who find this time of year to be a lonely,
depressing time and be an anchor for them!

December 3

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
No one stands as tall as a Christian on his/her knees.
(Our Daily Bread)

SCRIPTURE:
I set my face toward the Lord God to make a request by prayer and
supplication. Daniel 9:3

We have all heard the old proverb "You never miss the water until the
well runs dry." We have enjoyed the freedom of prayer for so long, we
take it for granted. In Daniel's day it was an offense to pray, even in private,
in the land of captivity. Pray we we never experience the same!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When my grandma made Snickerdoodles, she used hands full of flour,
a scoop of sugar, a dash of cinnamon. Everything was beyond measure,
but came out of the oven perfect.
I think God's grace is that way. He lavishes us with, not only grace, but
favor, blessings and love (Vantage Point Devotional).

SCRIPTURE:
And from his fullness we received, grace upon grace. John 1:16

This is the time of year for us to think about gifts for our loved ones. We
give beyond measure, sometimes foolishly, because we love them so much.
Why is it so hard for us to believe God loves us in that same way? But He
is never foolish in His gift giving!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

December 1

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!
Can you believe it's December already? Another year is
almost gone.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Let's put smiles on our faces and speak encouraging words to those
who need to hear it. Let's put our lights on lamp stands for all to see.
With God as our guide, light will spread, and many will be drawn into
the circle of love, joy and hope. ( Pat Earl-Christian voices)

SCRIPTURE:
If we extend ourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the afflicted
soul, then our light shall dawn in the darkness and our darkness shall be
as the noonday sun. Isaiah 58:10

One small candle in the dark world is far better than no light at all... be that
candle!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda
