Merry Christmas!
God is so good in the opportunities he allows me. I was changed last Thursday when I, along with a small group of the Woodward Park Church members went to deliver Christmas gifts to a family that we adopted for Christmas. We met this family in our outreach to the downtown Fresno area. This family has touched my heart, but not as much as last Thursday when we went to deliver the gifts, and tree and to decorate it with them. They told us that this was the first time that they had a Christmas tree. I started thinking about why that touched me so much is it because I have three trees up this year and felt guilty? Was it because they were so grateful or because they were so excited to decorate the tree? I believe that it was a combination of it all. I thank God that he allowed me to witness this to see this family so excited over something that I take for granted. I will be thinking of this family today as my family opens our gifts. I will be praying for them. Oh how exciting to think about how God has placed them in our lives and that he is entrusting us to influence them for him. I pray that we will continue to reach out to them and that they will respond to the message of our Lord. Please join me in praying for this family.
