Times to cherish...

Its really hard to grasp but I cannot believe that the holidays are almost here. Pumpkins, holiday sales, christmas lights, turkey, etc....all these things are beginning to show up in our commercials, at the stores, in the magazines and more. Everything around is reminding us that the season is upon us. I want to encourage us all, not to take this time for granted. Do not let it pass by. It is a time for family, friends and loved ones. Statistics show that during times like this, suicide rates grow rapid. But we HAVE to refuse to let this be our testimony, AMEN! Be an agent of peace, love, patience, joy, compassion, mercy, hospitality and grace. Exercise it with everything you have. It is important to show these attributes, and not just talk about them. You'll find that all people need is a little time, a little listening to and a little caring.
