The Power of the Story


Romans 15:4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have HOPE.

We were in Venice in November right before starting our Mediterranean cruise. In Venice we visited the old Jewish part of town. In the photo above you see an artist we met who brings to life pages from the Old Testament in drawings and tablets. Her work was colorful and meaningful.

God's word continues to be explored and passed on. The stories therein teach us and encourage us for what we need each day. The Christmas story is preserved beautifully for us to read, study and find encouragement too. May it bring HOPE to your heart this day.

God Rest you Merry Gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
