Great joy fills my heart this
Christmas season! This year has been
amazing with much ministry happening.
Father has not sent us traveling other than our spring trip but He has
sent us out to many in our own DFW area plus around the world through email and
Facebook. Texting is really not our
favorite form of communication but it is becoming our most used communication.
Lol How wonderful to have ways to touch
lives even though at home in the office or in the car on our way to one of the
Lord’s divine special appointments.
Thank you for your prayers this
year! We have held many grieving the loss of a loved one. We have spoken a word
of truth into a life struggling to believe there is any good left in our world.
We read the headlines and continue our prayer effort not only for our nation
and our family but for the world. There
is so much evil happening in our world but there is also a lot of good
happening, love shown, people being helped and encouraged. Do not ever think the situation you are
facing is hopeless because with God ALL things are possible.
Matthew 19:23-26 says: “Then Jesus said to His disciples, Assuredly, I
say to you it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again
I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. When His disciples heard it, they
were greatly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus looked at
them and said to them, with men this is impossible, but with God all things are
possible.”
1 Thessalonians 5:15-19 says:” See that no one renders evil for evil to
anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. Rejoice
always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.”
May the Lord grant you great
peace and rest this Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. Please consider that we are to celebrate Jesus every day
of our lives. We are never limited to time and space when it comes to rejoicing
and celebrating Jesus.
Charley is gaining in strength
and stamina daily after his surgeries and illness in 2014. We rejoice in his
recovery and praise the Lord daily that his voice to love and for teaching was
never silenced even in the weakest times and his excitement at seeing people
come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord always bubbles forth.
May the New Year 2016 be full of
delight in all the Lord will do in your life and may you seek Jesus daily and
learn from the Word of God how to walk the Life of Christ in your everyday
life.
We love and appreciate all of
you!!!
Charley & Karen
