Sponsor a Child.....Make a Difference this Holiday

Well the time of year that we all love has arrived, a time for remembering Christ’s birth long ago!! It is the time when our love and thankfulness is very abundant. A time of year that we show compassion and our hearts “warm“ with each gift we give to others.

I am asking you to open your heart to those in need this Christmas. The holidays are a difficult time for the children and youth in our Upstate’s shelters. These children do not have a “family” to spend time with during the holidays. Let’s help these children experience Christmas by showing them that there are others that care for them. (Even though they do not have a family) All of the workers at these shelters do there best to show love and compassion for these kids on a daily basis, but the kids need to see that we care. This is where many of us can step in and help give hope this holiday season.

Many of you can remember creating a “Wish List” for Santa when you were kids!! I know many of you reading this have children of you own who are working on that list right now…there is a glow in their eyes each time they think of something else to add to it. The children and youth in the shelters are no different…they also have a growing wish list! Yes, I know…just as each of you know… that Christmas is not all about gifts. I do know that most of us love to and look forward to “giving” gifts this time each year!

In the next few weeks, I will be posting “Wish Lists” from children and youth that live in our local Upstate shelters. The names on each list will be changed for security purposes, so please no “Initial/Monogram” gifts. Keep in mind that it is our place to step up and Love one Another!!!!

Let go of Pride....

Acts 17:24-28

Let go of Pride.. ..
It is only because of God that we live, move, and breathe. God is bigger than we are, larger than our churches, and grander than the world. God does want your life, your love, and your humble praise.
God made us to seek him and reach out to find him. He sacrificed his son so we could have a relationship with him.

Let go of Pride.. ..
Step out on faith and act on what it is that God is asking you to do for him. No matter your situation, your position in society, or your personal goals…….. ..do it all with faith and allow him to use you for his will.

Let go of Pride.. ..
When you feel overwhelmed by problems or people in your life, cry out to God and he will hear you. (Psalm 27:5)-Many times we may not understand the “road” we are on in life (psalm 28:14)-but God will show you his plans. They will unfold when he is ready to reveal them in your life. It is at that time you will be able to look back and know the reason for the “rocky road” you previously did not understand.

Let go of Pride.. ..
I am so blessed to see God’s will for my life and this journey he has planned for my family. His plans are awesome and they have unfolded just at the “right time….. .. HIS time”
Therefore, as I end tonight, I ask that you would let go of pride and focus on the fact that God is waiting to show you his will for your life.. .. .. Take a leap of faith in what he has planned for you!!

Compassion

Arrogant. Overfed. Unconcerned. Those words could easily describe our society in general. It is so easy to get so consumed by your own life that you don't look beyond yourself to see the needs of others.

This was Sodom's sin. (ezekiel 16:49-50)

I ask that you would take your eyes off yourself and start seeing the needs of others. Seek ways you can help the needy and less fortunate who are all around you. There are opportunities at every avenue in your life. If you would like more information on how to help in your area, please contact us and we can plug you into many local needs.

If you aren't sure where to start and need guidance please let me know, I will find resources for you. Many of you are from areas outside the Upstate of SC, but don't let that keep you from plugging into your community. Love Another is willing to take the hassle out of the process and connect you directly with those in need.

~A blessed day to each of you and may you bless someone else~
