Already started my donation habit (now behavior) for the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas... it helps me turn away from the stress and toward the spirit of gifting, blessing, and yeah even some joy. I try to look for opportunities for small donations in my community, a dollar or two here and there, a gift card for food to a homeless person, canned goods, giving a meal to a needy neighbor, books for the pediatric unit of the hospitals, women's shelter, children in crisis... tooth brushes, soap, shampoo, lotions... all the little things add up and ripple through the community.

Wreaths come out this week and since I'm talking about shifting into holiday spirit... this song, One Small Child has remained one of my favorites for the past 5 Christmas seasons:

From Jesus Calling - November 29th

"In this age of independence, people find it hard to acknowledge their neediness. However, I have taken you along a path that has highlighted your need for Me; placing you in situations where your strengths were irrelevant and your weaknesses were glaringly evident. Through the aridity of those desert marches, I have drawn you closer and closer to Myself. You have discovered flowers of peace blossoming in the most desolate places. You have learned to thank Me for hard times and difficult journeys, trusting that through them I accomplish My best work. You have realized that needing Me is the key to knowing Me intimately, which is the gift above all gifts."

Isaiah 58:11 and Isaiah 40:11.

Have a blessed day. VB
 
I am doing Bible Study which is called FREEDOM FROM EMOTIONAL EATING by Barb Raveling. It is deep, really getting to the roots of what a person might be suffering from that makes them want to eat when they should not. I'm hoping to lead a Bible Study at my church with it at some time in the near future, once I finish doing it myself.
 
[ Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word ] In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
John 1:1-2 NLT
 
On my job hunt today I found a place that is currently hiring. They took down my name and phone number and tomorrow I go to fill out an application. Please pray that this resturant will give me a chance and hire me. I am willing to do what ever I can to be employed. Thank you in advance.
 
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson
