Dear Partners and Friends,
In just over two weeks, the year 2020 will go down in history. For some people, this year brought with it a wonderful blessing, maybe the birth of a child, or maybe an achievement that was long in the making. For others, this year has brought extreme difficulty, debilitating sickness, or the death of a loved one. Either way, this year will pass into history, leaving us with the memories.
In light of the fleeting nature of our lives, let us ask ourselves “what memories do we want to leave behind with our loved ones? How do we want them to remember us?” Let’s go out of our way to create positive memories with our family and friends. We don’t know how much time we have left, so we want to use it to it’s fullest potential. Take time to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. Have a meal together as a family. And spend time sharing the Word of God with family and friends. Find an inspirational movie that you can all enjoy. The list is endless – all you need is your imagination!
And while you are sharing happy times with your friends and family, don’t forget about the lonely and the downtrodden. Find ways to bless the poor, the homeless, and why not make it a family event? You will lift up someone’s spirit, and you will be blessed, too!
Our dear Brothers and Sisters in India are fighting the Good Fight of Faith, with spiritual weapons. This month we have a beautiful story of how God is moving through two simple people! As you read their story, be encouraged! God wants to give you your own story to share. And when He does, write us, and tell us your story. We will rejoice with you!
And as I say every month, any time you need prayer or help in any way, please feel free to reach out to us. And please keep our brothers and sisters in India in prayer, as they face the same kinds of challenges that we face. Together we will overcome, and God will be glorified.
Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,
Thomas
