God grant me the
SERENITY to accept the thing I cannot change,
COURAGE to change the things I can,
and the WISDOM to know the difference.

Into The World Came...
God's purest Light to show us the way;
God's perfect Savior to free us from sin;
God's tender Shepherd to care for our needs;
God's sure Foundation to make us secure;
God's fullest Joy to give us a song;
God's broken Bread to satisfy our hunger;
God's conquering King to rule in our hearts;
God's healing Fountain to make us whole;
God's highest Purpose to fulfill our longings;
God's quieting Peace to bring us rest;
God's redeeming Love to make us His own.
They will call him Immanuel, which means "God is with us."
Matthew 1:23 NLT

Our Greatest Need
If our greatest need had been information,
God would have sent us an educator.
If our greatest need had been technology,
God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money,
God would have sent us an economist.
If our greatest need had been pleasure,
God would have sent us an entertainer.
But our greatest need was forgiveness,
so God sent us a Saviour.

Jesus Is The Gift
Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart and it is with His love that all celebration starts.
We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth and thank God for sending His only Son to earth.
His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill where He faithfully followed His Father's perfect will.
He freely laid down everything so that we could live and there is no greater treasure anyone could give.
Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross and He offered it to us all at the greatest cost.
So each time that we give we remember what He's done and honor the perfect Gift - God's one and only Son.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

Prayer of Release
I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day of His return.
2 Timothy 1:12 NLT
Heavenly Father, I release to you the burdens that I have been carrying, burdens that You never intended for me to carry. I cast all my cares upon You-all my worries, all my fears.
Father, calm my restless spirit, quiet my anxious heart, still my troubling thoughts with the assurance that You are in control. I let go of my grip upon the things I have been hanging onto, with opened hands I come to You.
I thank You for Your promise to sustain me, preserve me, and guard all that I have entrusted to Your keeping. Protect my heart and mind with Your peace, the peace that passes all understanding. Father, may Your will be done in my life, in Your time, and in Your way.

A Father's Love
A father is
respected because he gives his children leadership...
appreciated because he gives his children care...
valued because he gives his children time...
loved because he gives his children the one thing they treasure most-himself
The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.
Proverbs 20:7 NKJV
