God often uses you all to be His hands and feet – and His Voice

It’s that season of the year that one’s heart turns toward home and the joy of memories of family, friends, food, and lots of fun. After following a friend’s blog the other night, I found myself growing a tad homesick. Praise God that His mercies are new every morning and that He always knows right where we’re at! As I began to ponder my feelings, He gently reminded me of a few things – you know, those things you know, but you just need help remembering sometimes. I heard Charles Stanley say a long time ago, “Feelings are satanic slush.” It’s something I’ve held on to because I tend to be one of God’s extra-emotional beings. Feelings are just that – feelings; they are not fact.

So as we head into this season, pray for us – and so many others like us – who would love to be at “home” for the holidays but whose deepest desire is to honor the One who paid a debt He did not owe to obtain for us eternal life in a heavenly home with Him. Now that’s something to be thankful for!

Please know also how very thankful we are for the support you give us through your prayers and your notes of encouragement. God often uses you all to be His hands and feet – and His voice – as He ministers to us through you. We are blessed beyond measure!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering in the past. It is because of your unselfish giving that we, and 5000-plus like us, are able to live on this side and minister in Christ’s name.
