Day two of the New Year’s 🎉message is today “Christmas ‘Ain’t’ over!”  It’s all about the wise men who traveled a great distance, over two years to worship the “New Born King of the Jews!” The wise men were Gentiles. Jesus came for all.✝️ The religious “gurus” at the Temple wouldn’t travel six miles (the distance from Jerusalem to Bethlehem) to worship Him. How far to our place of worship? Will we travel that far? Oh, Father, call us to worship You, today, amen.

Well, Happy New Year! kissed my wife. I said first time I’ve kissed you since last year.😅 The Father has already blessed me this year; He woke me up and started me on my way.🎉 My prayer for all of us is that we will be faithful in our service, that we will be diligent in ministering to and sharing the Good News with others, ✝️ and that we don’t let “old acquaintances be forgot”. Amen!

Happy New Year, tomorrow!🎉Happiness can be dependent on circumstances. The last couple of years have been tough. But there is joy, dependent on our relationship with the Father through the Son. For those who are struggling, Psalm 30:5 reminds us: “weeping lasts for the night, but joy comes with the morning!” Soon and very soon our joy will be complete. He will return for us some glorious morning! Oh, how we long to see friends and loved ones again, that will be joy, amen.

For many Christmas is over, the tree and decorations are down, “left overs” gone, presents put away,☹️but we think the “wise men” didn’t arrive till two years after Jesus birth. The message Sunday is “Christmas ‘ain’t’ over”. We still have our nativity sets out. Maybe, it’s my age, but I want to celebrate Christ’s birthday every day. Thank You for coming for us, to deliver us. No, Christmas “ain’t” over, amen.

You never know how much we need Jesus till He’s all you have. I learned last night of a tragedy for a family that I’ve known for years. I am brokenhearted. All I can do is pray.🙏🙏Jesus, is all they’ve got. Oh Father, I deeply pray now for those whose need is so deep. Please put Your arms around them, we ask in Jesus’ name, amen.

Two of the children went home yesterday, I had tears.☹️ The other leaves today.✝️ We still have water heater problems, but I know some families who would swap problems with us.🙏 Father, thank You for guiding us, for being there for us, and for putting Your arms around us to comfort and encourage us when we want to throw our hands up in despair. Thank You Father, amen.

Up early😇no hot water, so I☹️called my friend, Bro. Joe, the fix it man.🎉 He’s on his way!🙏🙏 I got caught up on my praying.🙏🙏 Isn’t  it amazing how God can get our attention?🙄 He uses everything, the good and the bad in His economy. As a new year dawns before us, let’s resolve that His Holy Spirit would be the dominating force in our lives. Thank You, Father, for caring for us in the “big” things and the “small” things - amen!

Life is tough with moments of sorrow, but also with moments of great joy.🎉We had all the family together for a brief moment.❤️ We laughed, talked, opened presents, we ate, 😅and today we worship together.✝️ Father, thank You for this great joy. Father, we lift up all the families that are struggling, that need You so much, please put Your arms around them, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Merry Christmas!🎉 We had a great day yesterday with worship at the nursing home; our daughter played the piano, we sang carols, and read the Christmas story. Last night over 65 attended our candle light service. God is so awesome!✝️ Father, we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, and we pray and ask in His Name for peace, harmony, healing and comfort for all those in need.🙏 Thank You, Lord, for saving us, the best gift ever, amen.

It’s Christmas Eve. We are in deep prayer for a precious lady from our church on the way to Mobile carrying her father to see his baby brother, who is a the point of death.🙏🙏 Father, thank You for sending Jesus into our world and lives, so that we can know that the grave is not the end✝️. Tonight at 6 PM, we have a Candle Light service, 30 minutes long. Come as you are. Let’s celebrate, let’s worship, amen. (It will be streamed live at Lake Blackshear Baptist Church.)

Oh, what a night!🎉We went caroling for the first time in three years. We went to five homes. It was an awesome time of joy and worship!✝️ Thank You, Father, and thank all who participated.😇It’s almost Christmas, and I’m ready; the tree is up, the presents wrapped and my heart is ready to celebrate the physical birth (He has always existed) of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Father, thank You for Jesus coming into our world and into our lives, amen.

Awesome day with ladies from the church, a Deacon, and our Children’s Director. We were able to reach many children and their families with food and gifts  for Christmas .🎉 (They did the work, i just watched😇.) On my way home, I was in one one one conversation with the Father.✝️ It dawned on me I can talk, one on one, with omnipotent Creator of the cosmos. I can’t talk with the president, the governor, or my congressmen. They won’t take my call,☹️ but 24/7 The Father, is available! Oh my, let’s talk to Him today, amen.

A friend told me, “I got my wife’s Christmas Present”. I asked, “What did you get her?”He replied “A belt and a bag!” I responded, “She’ll love that!” He said, “Yeah, and the vacuum cleaner should run better!”😅 I do have my wife’s present, our baby daughter helped me. At this point in our lives, we don’t need things; we need the closeness of our family, our friends, our church family. Most of all we need the presence of the Lord in our lives. Oh, we feel Him, do you? Amen.
#comehomeatlbbc

Oh, we are so blessed by our church family with goodies, flowers, cards.🎉Father, thank You for them and their ministry. Some of our ladies are preparing gifts for our “Angel tree” children, this morning. It’s been a tough two years; God has used it to teach us that our best days for Him are ahead. And Father, thank You for Jesus coming into our world and into our lives, Merry Christmas!🙏🙏

Sunday is the day set aside for worship.✝️ I’ve learned that “by in large” I do what I want to do, and I want to worship today!✝️ What do you want to do today? Father, help, encourage us to come worship today.🎉Father, for those who are prevented from coming, because of pain, sickness, or circumstances, encourage them to worship where they are, in Jesus’ name, amen.
