A Marvellous Christmas!

Psalms 105:5 "Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;"

How marvellous are the works God had done, indeed! Even when things aren't as perfect as we would like them this Christmas. When family can't be with us because of distance, jobs or death, or when plans we have don't work out, we can take comfort that God knows what He is doing and we don't have to be in control or feel like we need to be in control. My family was to have meetings in Georgia and Tennessee this month. Just before Thanksgiving, all doors in the southern states closed and opened up in the northern states of New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. This past Friday, one of the churches in New York had a ladies Christmas gathering I was privileged to be a part of. The ladies are so sweet and I really enjoyed getting to know them better, and to have this time of fellowship with them. 

The food (and especially desserts!) was all good and we had a grand feast!

After group singing, special music, and a testimony, Sue Jones of the Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany brought a devotional on the Christmas story and had the ladies take turns reading passages. How awesome it is to be able to read God's Word together! 

Some Christmas games and a gift exchange concluded the evening's activities.

....And some fun photo opportunities :)
