As we sing Christmas songs this season, do we pay attention to the words we’re singing? Do we really bring honor and glory to our Lord and Savior before the world? Do we really adore Him? The dictionary says that “ADORE” means to love and respect someone deeply. To worship. Christmas should be all about how much we LOVE the Lord Jesus.

But God is With Us
Good morning to you! This morning I’m sharing a “mini devotional”, as I am busy this week with food and family preparations going on for Thanksgiving Day. (By the way, I wish you and your family a “Happy Thanksgiving”. I hope you can enjoy some time with your family.)

God was with him each step of the…
