IT'S NOT ALWAYS A TIME FULL OF JOY...
Abi and Lily talk about Mary and Joseph being alone and away from family at Christmas time. We are thinking today about those who are alone, those who have been bereaved, and the prison work in Rugby.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Mat 25:34-40
