Delighting in God, Engaged in God's Purpose

It never ceases to amaze me how God works in our lives.

The people and books and experiences that come our way, at just the right moment in our lives, always causes me to pause and give thanks that God’s wisdom is so much wiser than mine!!! He knows what  I need and when I need it. How about you??

As we prepare for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas,                                                it is fitting that we stop and truly take a look at all our blessings.

We are a people with a purpose.

   “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.” 

 We are a people with hope.

“Our hope is in Jesus Christ through whom all things are possible.”

What more could we want?  

What more could we need?

     If we believe in God, and in his Son, Jesus Christ,                                                then we can accomplish great things and endure all things.

On the church sign at St. Paul’s UCC,  Imler,says:

To Believe is to Act.

To Act is to Love.

When we who believe are actively about loving,                                                         then more will come to believe, and more will be actively loving.

What an incredible Gift that would be!

See how wise God is??!!

We love because He first loved us .

How Blessed we are!

Have a Love-filled Holiday Season
