Sharing As Family

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

We were reminded this morning that "Christmas Is A Time To Share". This proved true even before the service commenced as our spiritual family met joyously together and, to our surprising joy, members of our extended Lynn family arrived to worship.

The Lynn family is like liquorice ~ we consist of 'all-sorts'. Our paths tend to seldom cross throughout the course of each year, so when we meet annually at our Christmas evening family dinner it is a 'quality' occasion. It's an opportunity to share each other's journeys and offer encouragement to one another.

Contemplate God's filial message of Love to the world ~ and be personally encouraged.

Micah 5:2-4 (MSG) ~ "But you, Bethlehem, David's country, the runt of the litter ~ from you will come the leader who will shepherd-rule Israel.He'll be no upstart, no pretender. His family tree is ancient and distinguished... He will stand tall in his shepherd-rule by God's strength, centered in the majesty of God-Revealed. And the people will have a good and safe home, for the whole world will hold him in respect ~ Peacemaker of the world!"
