Words are easy to speak out and we enjoy hearing comments that inspire and challenge us.  However it is not always easy to hear stories that are uncomfortable or sad, but as we do life together, it is inescapable to avoid these conversations.

It was great to see so many ladies sharing stories and chatting on Saturday night at our ladies night.  Gal 6 :2.  “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”  It is interesting to me that we have this calling on our lives, both men and women.

Philippians 2:4  “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”  Most recently I have had the privilege of conversations that have again reminded me that it is easy to read or sing so many of these truths, and yet we find ourselves so busy, especially in this Christmas season, that we don’t do what we know is good.

As you live God’s story this Christmas may you “discover, nurture and act” as you spend time with family and friends.  May you enjoy this opportunity to speak of the hope that you know in Jesus.
