So the  Lord  must wait for you to come to Him      so He can show you His love and compassion. For the  Lord  is a faithful God.      Blessed are those who wait for His help. Isaiah 30:18 Thank you for your prayers and support. May God's Name be lifting up throughout all the land in 2020.

We can take this further, such as, "I want to make this change";  I will not .... Thought 4 the day How well do your actions back up what you say?

As the cold air blows and the rain and snow begins to fall we are reminded that its that time of the year again. Many are planning trips back home or joining family getting together to celebrate the reason for the season. We need to be mindful that the holidays are a tough time for many families, the elderly and so many others that struggle alone throughout the year. I ask you to please say a prayer for them even though we may not know them. Take time out from your schedule to remember someone you know that is alone and think of something good towards them .. a prayer, a visit, a token of appreciation, a kind word over tea or anything else that comes to mind.
