Scripture Reading: Philippians 3 : 13 - 14 Lesson to Learn In order to move forward, we must stop looking backwards. It is hard to think ahead when you are constantly thinking about the past. We have to learn to let go of the past and let GOD do HIS work so that we can move ahead. When something is holding you down, it's just easier to let it go. There is no need to hold on to things that mean you harm. Let go and let GOD. |

Scripture Reading: Luke 2: 7 Lesson to Learn GOD does not always do things the same way everytime. Sometimes HE chooses to reverse HIS own order for handling situations. HE does not always look for the wealthiest person, the most educated person, or the most sophisticated person to do HIS work. Sometimes HE takes the poor, people outcasted by society, or the downtrodden and uses them to get HIS point across. HE used a common, poor woman to bring the Savior into the world. So, no matter what Christmas may mean to us, we should NEVER FORGET THE BABY. |

Scripture Reading: Isiah 9: 6; Luke 2: 8 - 14 Lesson to Learn Christmas is the season where we should have great joy with one another. We must love each other as we love ourselves. And above all, we must remember that CHRIST is what Christmas is all about. |

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 10 : 6; Hebrews 12 : 2 Lesson to Learn Teach your children properly and raise them up in the word of GOD. You know what your child does in your presence, but you never know what they do when not in your presence. Train them in the word of GOD and the teachings of JESUS CHRIST. With that knowledge, your children will be able to handle everyday trials, tribulations, and temptations. |

Scripture Reading: Job 28: 2 - 3 Lesson to Learn Just because we are tested today, it doesn't mean that we will be blessed tomorrow. GOD sends tests our way, and HE blesses us in due time. We may not always receive a blessing for enduring a test, but each test is designed to bring us closer to HIM. |

Scripture Reading: Psalms 65: 6 - 13; Psalms 100, Psalms 103 Lesson to Learn It's alright to be thankful. GOD does so much for us, but it is hard for us to say thank you. We can find things to complain about, but instead of complaining, we should thank GOD for all the blessings HE has given us. |

Scripture Reading: St. John 11:38 - 43 Lesson to Learn No matter who you are, you have some stones in your life. If you have JESUS CHRIST in your life, you will be able to remove any and all stones. |

Scripture Reading: Philippians 3:12 - 14 Lesson to Learn Although your faith may have gotten you through yesterday, today is a new day filled with it's own challenges. Use yesterday as a learning experience for today, increase your faith, and continue to talk with GOD. |

Scripture Reading: Habakkuk 3:16 - 19 Lesson to Learn GOD allows you to go through things. But instead of you waiting for HIM to change your situations and the issues around you, you should pray that HE changes you so that you can get the strength to go through your situations. |
