Peace. Goodwill. Time.

No month races faster by us than December. I feel like I blinked and it was December 8th. Wow.

Every weekday has seemed like a bridge between full weekends. So much to do, people to reach out to, folks and situations to pray for, and Christmas outreach as well as festivities to prepare for, we’re rockin’ and rollin’ right towards Christmas day. Yesterday we had the chance to pray for peaceful days and the will to slow things down so we can enjoy our children and the *most important* things.

(Repeat to self “time spells love”.)

One of the most amazing things to me is that God somehow willed it that we would be between two families in desperate situations (victims of a local crime plague) needing comfort, encouragement and peace this Christmas. I’m so grateful for the chnace to be here for them and help them overcome their sadness and look forward with hope, praying for their future.
