Thoughts from Sister Clovia Thompson –
Before we get busy with the hustle and bustle of the upcoming holidays, let’s take time to be holy and be silent and still as we listen to God and hear what He has to say.
Take time to be holy. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. He will never disappoint us.
Take time to be holy. Thank God for His provision, the Spirit of Christ who is with us and in us. We are never alone.
Take time to be holy. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. God’s love endures forever.
Take time to be holy. Trust God for He is greater than our hearts. God knows everything.
Let us turn the hustle and bustle of the holidays into the peaceful and blessed holy days and spend time to be holy.
