March Into Victory - March 2017

March into Victory
By Connie Hawkins

I like March because it means that spring isn’t far off.  But more than the month of March, I like the word, ‘March’ and all that it can mean.  We were not created to live a life depressed, condemned or ashamed.  We are children of the King not to be defeated by guilt, shame, or remorse.  We are worthy and precious in God’s sight. And because we are His children, we can march into victory! We can march up to the things in our lives that are holding us back, pressing us down and kicked them out of our lives for good.  We can march to a new song, one of joy. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.    If you persevere and keep the faith, He will help you to march into victory!

I will even ma...

Christmas

Christmas isn’t about tinsel, twinkling lights on a tree, shopping, baking cookies, eating those cookies…it’s more about the presence of family sharing the love of Christ with the world.   Here’s what some pretty famous people have to say about Christmas: Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving. – B. C. Forbes He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. – Roy L. Smith Christmas is the season of joy, of holiday greetings exchanged, of gift-giving, and of families united. – Norman Vincent Peale The only blind person at Christmas-time is he who has not Christmas in his heart. – Helen Keller Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling. – Edna Ferber God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it. – Pope Francis Christmas, ...
