(1) Christmas 2021 in Kentucky:
Yes, there was a family ... they will have a forever memory about how God’s people came together to help.
The community knows that we were there as were a lot of other groups. These things are indeed important but there is another thing....

(2) We often forget that we are a larger community than our hometowns and churches. We looked at each other as God’s workers, sent by God to do a work for God.
(3) We did not discuss doctrines or systems or ecclesiastic orders. God brought us together and what I saw was only one thing, God at work.
(4) We became God’s hands.
We were instantly bonded and guided by a love that came from outside each of us and that love filled us.

(5) There is no doubt that each of us would have sacrificed his own safety to protect any of the others should that have been needed. This is profound. We had known each other for only moments yet we were bound by eternity.
(6) I learned that I am never alone. In addition to God, there are millions if not billions of people bound to each other through Christ. We do not see these bonds until God reveals them to us.
(7) It is much like the invisible army of angels that was unseen until God revealed them. I have hope because of the people that God has called.
(8) We worked for a day or two and then returned to our communities. I do not doubt that others were changed in similar ways. The people from New York went home knowing that there were people in Georgia that would sacrifice for them if needed.
(9) We went back into our communities waiting for the next call. This has happened innumerable times in hundreds of events. God opened our eyes to the vast host of people that are at His call to respond to the work He has to do.
(10) As bad as things may appear when looking with my limited vision, God has prepared an army. I only need to respond to His call. When I show up for duty, I will join an army sent by heaven.
That is indeed joyful.
That is indeed joyful.
(11) Merry Christmas !
(12) We rejoice, because from that exact moment forth to the end of time, it was now the purest truth that we would never be alone.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
