The Greatest Gift of ALL...

Cindy left a comment on The Prayer Notes blog click for the post "In hope, rejoicing...In Tribulation, enduring...In...":

Dear Barb: Technology is great..We are able to communicate overseas with each other via Internet and better yet skype…In real time with family & friends.Communication is critical to us here on the field in the DR. We depend on it to coordinate flight schedules and immediate missionary needs to the Agape home base in Venice.

Thanks be to God for Agape Flights and all of you there that work so diligently to "juggle" flight schedules & deal with mechanical difficulties to meet missionary needs personally and for the people who depend on them.

As Christmas approached I witness first-hand how God has blessed us through Agape. The joy that each parcel brings, no matter how big or small, is received with such excitement by our members.

Its not about the box - its about love. Feeling love, knowing love that comes wrapped in a present.Hum...I meditate on "tiny present" "love”…I think of us learning Spanish…hum…Translate that for me to English -please? Ok let's translate Love: Love came down on Christmas in the form of a "tiny baby" Jesus Christ - the greatest gift of all!

The True Light That Gives Light to Every Man was coming into the World

John 1:1-9

New International Version of the Holy Bible

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning.

Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.

In Him was life, and that life was the Light of men.

The Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.

He came as a witness to testify concerning that Light, so that through Him all men might believe.

He himself was not the Light; he came only as a witness to the Light.

The true Light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and through the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

He was in the world, and through the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

He came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him.

Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God-

Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.

We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John testifies concerning Him.

He cries out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.

From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another.

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made Him known.

Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask Him who He was.

He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Chris."

Thank Heaven and Glory to God...
