Christmas Greeting 2020

12/17/2020

We wait.
We wait with hope.
We wait expectantly.
​

It's the season of Advent, meaning 'Coming' in Latin.  It's a time of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and the return of Christ at the Second Coming.

'Waiting' seems to be the theme pouring from the hearts of all people this year.  We wait for the Pandemic to cease.  We wait for jobs to reappear.  We long for hugs, special times with friends and family without feelings of "what if?", and we wait for a time that feels somewhat normal. 2020 has left us much baggage, but sitting at the top of the luggage pile is a beautifully designed box.  It is filled with Hope. 


1st Century Israelites waited with hope that Messiah would come.  Are we any different?  We know that Messiah has come and He is our hope of glory (Col. 3:27).  But are we moving through our days with hope that He will return again?! ... and soon?
Is. 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint.

Are you waiting for the Lord?  Be encouraged precious one, He is coming...again!
Our days should be filled with blessed hope that renews our strength and makes us RUN with strong fervor.  Did you know that Hope deferred makes the heart sick? (Proverbs 13:12) 
Open that beautiful box of Hope! Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.    Romans 15:13

Be the Light in a weary world...Hold fast!

We Wish you a Blessed Merry Christmas!

Gold IRA reviews offer valuable insights for individuals considering a gold-backed retirement account. These reviews help potential investors assess the reliability, fees, customer service, and overall experience of various gold IRA companies. By reading these reviews, investors can compare providers, weigh the pros and cons, and make informed decisions about diversifying their retirement savings with precious metals. Gold IRAs are often seen as a hedge against inflation and market volatility, making reviews a crucial resource for those seeking to protect and grow their wealth in a secure and tax-advantaged manner.
