Good evening, Family. 🇨🇽
We take this opportunity to thank each of you for every single devotional you’ve submitted since March, when our lives got turned upside down. You have helped keep The Lighthouse at Riverside strong and connected as a church family all of these months. You’ve also helped that family to grow and expand with every person you’ve asked me to send these devotions to, or with with everyone you’ve shared them with yourselves! We are eternally grateful for your support and contributions all these months! ♥️
As we enter December, we enter it fully aware that for some, this is the busiest time of the year. With that in mind, we wanted to give everyone the month off from submitting, and instead treat all of you to a month of helping you to keep Christ in Christmas during the month of December! Each day, you'll read a beautiful thought from "Jesus Calling for Christmas".🎄
Our prayer is that it will inspire each of you to answer the sweet call Jesus makes on your heart as He reminds us why He came as a precious baby all those years ago. We also pray that each of us will use this opportunity to share Jesus with others this Christmas season by sharing the daily messsge with someone who is seeking, even if they don't yet realize that they are seeking! 🐪🐫
Most of all, we pray you are blessed by the beauty of what Christmas means to each of us as believers. 🌟
Much Love, Joy & Peace to each of you! ✨
