Remember who you are and what God expects you to become.

Do we give thanks to God 'for his unspeakable gift' and His rich blessings so abundantly bestowed upon us?

Let us respect others no one lives alone in a city, a nation, or a world.

Who the Lord calls, the Lord will qualify.

As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always.

Of course, we will face fear, experience ridicule, and meet opposition. Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.

We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us.
