HAPPY NEW YEAR WORLD!!!!!

The Greatest Story

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over
their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

What a great reminder how much we have!

The mind of Christ...

"The things you allow your mind to dwell on do not just affect

YOU."

This statement was made yesterday in church. It really caused me to stop and think... and I hope you take a minute too.

The Secret Place

He who dwelleth in the secret place of the most

High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, he
is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in
him will
I
trust.

Psalm 91:1-2

Brrr, it's cold! 34 degrees, and raining...I mean snowing. The leaves were being swished through the air last evening. It seemed like it was snowing little golden leaves for a few minutes....I love Fall. Snow is now gently falling to the earth.
