THANKFUL FOR MY FAMILY and you!

BE AN EXAMPLE!

As we have PASSED CHRISTMAS

And are approaching the

NEW YEAR

I challenge each of us

To be

A BETTER PERSON in 2020=

And to LIVE your FAITH

And be a CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE=

Like Christ in 2020

“........what we have

Seen and heard

We PROCLAIM

Now to you........”                                                                                             1 John 1:3

This passage

CAUSES us to ask

A question

HOW did we RECEIVE

Our faith?

How did we DEVELOP

Our faith?

My mom and dad

Were BOTH CATHOLIC=

And I grew up

NATURALLY to it

As I got older-

I tried to REACH OUT

To people of all

CHRISTIAN FAITHS

To reach out to

ALL PEOPLE of all religions

And love them

That is the SECOND COMMANDMENT

“To love our neighbor

AS OURSELVES”=

Reach out to everyone

LOVE EVERYONE!

It doesn't say any

Particular religion=JUST LOVE BABY!

LIVE BY EXAMPLE!

Develop your faith-

LIVE by the law of LOVE

Be an example! OF LOVE

“I have set you

AN EXAMPLE

That you should

Do as I

Have done for you”                                                                                             John 13:15

“FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE

As I follow-

The EXAMPLE of Christ”                                                                                  1 Corinthians 11:1

“To this

You were called

Because Christ suffered

For you

Leaving you an EXAMPLE

That you should follow

In his steps”                                                                                                              1 Peter 2:21

I followed the EXAMPLE

Of my parents=that they set for me=

And some of my grandparents too

But especially the EXAMPLE

Of Christ=and the EVERY DAY APOSTLES

BE AN EXAMPLE!

For God and Christ

In this world=

Be an example of LOVE-

LIVE your faith

And so-HOW do we

Live our faith

“Be glad........and

Give thanks”                                                                                                        Psalm 97:12

Live JOY filled lives

Live with GRATITUDE

And HAVE FAITH!

“Have FAITH

In the Lord

Your God

And you will be upheld

HAVE FAITH

In the prophets

And you will be SUCCESSFUL”                                                                     2 Chronicles 20:20

Dear Lord=help us to BE

A SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLE

Of love in 2020

By living lives of JOY, of

Gratitude, and OF FAITH

Help us to be TRUE EXAMPLES

Of Christian living

Day in and day out

In Jesus' name=and in the name of our FOREVER LIVING-LOVING Father
