Call Him God’s Son
Loving Savior
Incarnate Baby come down to earth
Call Him Mighty God
Birthed in holy hush of night
and Laid in a manger
Call Him Wonderful Counselor
Infinite Comforter,
Full of grace, mercy and truth
Call Him Jesus, Gift of the Father
Seeking and saving
those who are lost
Reflections from Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, John 3
What a wonderful time of the year as believers in Jesus remember the hope and joy of Christmas. What wonderful news that Jesus broke through the darkness of night to enter our world…To show us what God is like. And what a miracle to believe that Jesus can still break through the darkest and hardest of hearts and cause us to be born again. We can become like little children and given eternal life when we bow before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and receive this Blessed Gift of the Father. The gift of forgiveness of our sins, the gift of new life in Christ, the gift of heaven awaiting those who will come and believe. I invite you to grab a bible and read the entire chapter of John 3. May we have eyes to see and ears to hear the good news of the gospel.
May the Joy of Jesus fill your heart and home this Christmas and in the days to come.
Love Glenda and Dave Mills

I’d rather walk
in the valley with Jesus
than on a mountain-top
without Him.
He gives a song
in the night.
He sings loudly,
knitting our hearts together
with sweet chords of love.
I’d rather walk
through valley’s long trial
with the Shepherd—
than high on a mountain
without His sweet song.
Sing over me, Shepherd of my soul. Help me go forth with heart
and hands lifted up, singing Love’s sweet song.
I call to remembrance my song in the night. Psalm 77:6
He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
O Love of God, how rich and pure
How marvelous and strong
It shall forever more endure
The saints and angels song

How do you explain Love
to someone
who’s never known
nor seen it?
How do you explain Love
to thirsty
hearts bent to
receive it?
How do you explain love
to seekers
giving all
to find it?
“This is real love–not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins”—1 John 4:10 NLB
“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart”—Jeremiah 29:13 NASB
“No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him”—John 1:18 NAS
Even in Dead of Winter
When broken hearts fill with grief,
Even in darkest valley,
New songs are oft released.
Even in darkest night-time,
When eyes are bereft of light…
The One who sees and knows all
Still gives songs in the night.
The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. (Zephaniah 3: 17 RSV)
My heart goes out to my sister Cathy, who is grieving the loss of her precious daughter Carrie, who went home to heaven the day after Christmas.
Cathy, you are ever in my prayers and my heart, and never far from my mind these days.
I pray these thoughts will be a source of encouragement to you today. May you hear new songs in the night as you rest on the eternal promises of God and live in the resurrection hope of Jesus. We will see Carrie again.
I know there are many others who also grieve the loss of loved ones right now. May God give you an abundance of comfort and may you too hear songs in the night.
Weeping may endure for the night, but Joy comes in the morning.
