At this time of year, I spend time thinking of my friends and brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. I appreciate their love and the good news I receive through Facebook and other mediums.
I wish we could all be together, but we will have to wait until heaven to join with God in the ultimate reunion.
In the meantime, I leave you and encourage you with this verse about the love and hope that inspire us, from 1 Thes. 1:3.
We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
