What a joy to be in this holy place at this holiest time of the year. I walked into our beautifully decorated Fellowship Hall today while still talking on the phone to my daughter. People were all around me. Patients were in the clinic. People needing assistance were completing forms. Volunteers were darting here and there trying to help. Our members were still sorting clothes in the Clothing Room. Our medical staff were rushing about getting ready to go out with toys, blankets and jackets, Wal-Mart cards in their pockets, and medications in their packs playing "Santa Doc". I said to my daughter on the phone, "Now this is Christmas. I wish you could be here. This is the real joy that the Lord has brought to us in these hard times. This is the true spirit of giving. It's about giving of ourselves just as our Lord did two thousand years ago."
Thank you, God, for allowing us to be here,
