GIVING AN OFFERING TO OUR LORD

Last night's message that pastor rudy preached in our home and in two neighborhoods kept me awake all night. It was a good sort of keep me awake all night.
It was about giving an offering but not the type you are thinking, or maybe so.
He preached about whatever it is that is keeping you from God, your sin, your wealth, your poverty, your circumstance, your addiction, whatever it is, give it as an offering to the LORD... so that it will be gone that you may find HIM.
I prayed a lot last night and made the following video i just posted.
This has not been the easiest twelve months for our family, personally.
From losing jobs and friends, our son moving away and becoming new parents and grandparents, and rudy getting hit by a bus a few weeks back... there has been a lot of change.
The LORD has been faithful and I have nothing, NO THING to complain about.
His mercy and sovereignty is abounding in our lives and I am blessed.
My offering to the LORD are my excuses that keep me away from HIM day to day, moment by moment.
Please join our family in thanksgiving for God is good and today and tomorrow may you find time to be still, know God is God and praise HIM for everything, EVERY THING.
Get rid of whatever it is that keeps you from HIM and offer it up.
He's waiting.
A very special thank you to every home that is represented in the Christmas pictures and to my dad Reg, Naomi, Emily's family, Dolan and Dolori who supported this past weeks outreach with gifts. The amount of food was amazing, nearly 10,000lbs distributed in six days to hundreds of people across the city, hundreds of dolls, beanie babies and giftbags and beanies, blankets and boxes of hams for Christmas dinner. Most of all, we thank God for sending HIS Son, JESUS, and HIM being preached, the best gift of all.
Every good and perfect gift is from above!
