The Blessing of the Season

I have to say, all things considered, this IS my favorite time of year . . . continually turning our focus to home, community and fellowship.   With school letting out for the holidays, I will not be teaching voice lessons in the afternoons and no basketball games, so I am looking forward to at least SOME  "home"  time!   I am hoping to get some things reorganized that have been let go for crazy schedules, maybe some Christmas decorating and definitely a lot of cooking!! :))   Mmmm!  When we're not in rehearsal for the upcoming  "Scrooge"   production at Family Church in West Monroe ( www.familychurch.org),  I also hope to have some fun family times with special treats,  popcorn, movies and games!

We, like many of you, will have an empty seat in our family circle, that we are believing God to redeem and restore.  So, today, I would encourage you to join us in focusing on what IS . . . and NOT what IS NOT this holiday season.  Let's bind our hearts together to bear one another's burdens and agree for the restoration of relationships, according to God's perfect plan.  Then, let's also PURPOSE to leave it in His hands to handle, as only He can, so we can be FREE to enjoy the precious 'present' - - the GIFT God has right in front of us this holiday season (and everyday of the year) of our family and friends!!

There may be an empty hole in our hearts, but if we'll let Him, God will fill up the spaces all around it . . . to overflowing!!  Let's give Him the opportunity!!  If you don't have a church family, let me invite you to join us at Family Church in West Monroe.  Let's do our part, by making ourselves available to our families, friends and local church, . . . and I assure you, GOD WILL BE FAITHFUL to do His part!!   After all, He's the One who began the whole "relationship" thing - - it's the REASON for the Season and the reason WHY we're here!!  TRUST GOD for the blessing of this Season!!   HE IS FAITHFUL!!   :))  Blessings!  Jenny
