“Whatever you do for the least of these in My name, you do unto Me!” Matthew 25:40
Sometime during January 2016 Mr. and Mrs. Topel asked if we could have a meeting. My heart was filled with anticipation as I contemplated the topic of this discussion. However, when they announced that they felt the nudge of the Holy Spirit to serve on a mission trip to India, I thought my heart was going to explode with joy! As a result, they left on February 25, 2016, with a team of seven additional volunteers to serve on a MOST Ministries Eye Glass Clinic in India.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3

Four years ago, after Jesus took my mom to Heaven, my sisters and I made a vow to get together once a year. With each of us living in different parts of the United States, this takes some intentional long term planning, and Winter Break has tended to work best for all of our schedules, that is until last weekend!
Always Know the Playbook!

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas as you celebrate the BEST gift of all... Jesus!
