Dear Friends,
It was great being in worship with you yesterday. Yes, we rehearsed, but we also worshiped! How wonderful to gather with other believers to spend time with God, with each and to make new friends. Through every trial, it is good to know we are not alone. We have our loving Savior and each other to share joys, sorrows and other burdens in our lives. To me, each of you are “giants” on whose shoulders I stand on to see things a little more clearly. My Father’s Kingdom here on earth. Share the love with others and I’ll see you on Sunday! Peace, Scott

I Am With You, watching over you constantly. I am Emmanuel (God with you): My Presence enfolds you in radiant Love. Nothing, including the brightest blessings and the darkest trials, can separate you from Me. Some of My children find Me more readily during dark times, when difficulties force them to depend on Me. Others feel closer to Me when their lives are filled with good things. They respond with thanksgiving and praise, thus opening wide the door to My Presence.
I know precisely what you need to draw nearer to Me. Go through each day looking for what I have prepared for you. Accept every event as My hand-tailored provision for your needs. When you view your life this way, the most reasonable response is to be thankful. Do not reject any of My gifts; find Me in every situation.
Matthew 1:23 23 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”
Colossians 2:6-7 6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
