I attended church yesterday with my fiancé, her daughter and grandson.
I accepted Jesus in June of this year.
When the time came to light light the candles, the pastor asked anyone who had become a believer or who had been baptized this year to come forward to light their candles first. We then went into the congregation and lit the candles of the others. It was a moving experience
I thought of how far I had come, and how much further I need to go. I thought of the blessings I have received.
I could not sing the hymn that followed as I feared my voice would crack, but was able to sing the last carol.
Merry Christmas to all of you....both believers and those who have yet to accept our Savior. He loves us all.
