​                                                                              Merry Christmas!
    The greatest gift is love. “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” 1Corinthians 13:13(NLT)
    Love is God’s why. We were created for His love. To bask and enjoy the awesome relationship with God. Living life in freedom, joy, peace, faith, power and love. 

Faith is power.
       The definition of faith from the Oxford American Dictionary means reliance or trust in a person or thing. However, it’s hard to have faith in something or someone who is imperfect. Eventually that thing or person won’t be able to uphold our trust or be reliant because it will break or have a bad day, for example.
     Think of how many people or things you had faith in that let you down. I’m sure the list is long.

​                                                                      Joy. Peace. Hope. Love. Faith
    These four words fill Christmas cards. Are found on wrapping paper and gift bags. Written in seasonal party invites. Etched into pretty glass ornaments. Sung in Christmas carols.
    The four words of the She Who Honors gift series this Christmas season. Last week we gave the gift of joy. Let’s give the gift of peace this week.

The Pittsburgh Dave and Buster’s will never be the same. This past August the staff of a big local church swarmed the place for a day of teambuilding.

Church operations team pitted against the communications ministry in Super Shot arcade basketball.  Associate pastors undercut each other in the Skee ball tourney. Worship team sang with all their might in desperation to defeat children’s ministries in the Daytona car race.
Men and women of all ages, colors and sizes laughing and hollering together in true friendship. An awesome sight to see. A rarity in this world.

What’s so different about this group of people?
