Christmas Caroling!

Dear family and friends,

What a wonderful blessing this time of year is for us! I have seen so many miracles from serving the Lord's people during this time of year. Many hearts have been softened from the season of honoring Christ. 

As a district, companionship, and friends, we went to serve others and share the Christmas spirit through caroling! Most of the people were open to receive our message after sharing the joy of music. It was so touching to see their faces brighten up as we sang. Some would listen with a smile as tears streamed down their faces. We touched a lot of hearts from sharing the Christmas hymns. 

One visit in particular touched my heart. We were given a referral to visit the home of a man who was suffering from brain cancer. As we walked to his house, it started to downpour rain. We started to sing, and immediately the door opened. I cried at what I saw. Two women answered the door, and just inside, the man suffering from cancer was laying on a hospital bed. The women invited us inside and we sang for him. He was so thankful for our visit. He explained that he used to carol when he was healthier, and he really appreciated what we were doing. They were touched by our Christmas spirit and accepted the invitation for us to visit again.

What a beautiful time of year this is. What a wonderful, amazing opportunity we have to share the light and hope of the gospel!

My challenge for you is to pray for those who are in need. Pray that they will be comforted and guided.

I love you all.
Keep smiling,
