But I’m back in Iloilo where the weather is much warmer. Tomorrow I leave all day to the western part of our Island to distribute Christmas gifts to our churches through the ministry of www.blessings.ph Saturday I will be gone all day to the northern part of our island to do the same. Then next week I will cover the eastern part of our island. To the south is ocean where travel would be difficult for my aged car!
Christmas is a time when stores remind us of the abundance
we enjoy in the U.S.A. But the news
headlines tell us that people in other countries, including the Philippines,
live in a different world where needs are desperate and lives are fragile. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for missions
is an important link to channel resources to places that need more than
food. They need to know about a Savior
who came from glory, born in a manger, showed us God, carried our sins and died
for them that we might live with Him forever.
I hope your Christmas is a blessed time with family and
friends. Enjoy the food, the delicacies,
the decorations, the gifts, the joy, and the love. And don’t forget the millions who can only
dream of such things. Share the meaning
of Christmas with them, too.
