I realize it's been such a long time since
I have written.
I am so sorry.
The banquet was
amazing.
We were overwhelmed by the kindness.
The people...
The prizes....
and the end result...
We raised over $7800!
All
praise be to the Lord.
Also, that night, God had a surprise for us.
The SHOW HOPE
foundation,
established by Steven Curtis Chapman,
called as we were leaving for the banquet.
They partnered
with the Tim Tebow Foundation
and provided us with a grant of $8,000.
All we can say is
"AMAZING".
We are deeply
humbled and completely grateful.
Today, the day
before we celebrate the birth of Jesus,
I want to take a moment
and remember God's provision.
He provided the Savior.
He provided restoration.
He provided the very best.
He gave His OWN son.
To be born of a virgin.
To live a sinless life.
Even to die. On a cross.
For our sins.
So that we could have a relationship with God.
Provision.
Salvation.
Restoration.
This Christmas season, may we remember the giving of
the ultimate gift.
Sacrifice.
The amazing part of this story is that God’s
provision did not end
that night in the manger.
He continues to provide.
He richly provides.
The very best.
May you be in awe as God meets all your
needs this year.
To God be the glory.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches
of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
Merry
Christmas!
