Delight yourself in the Lord . . .

At this time of year we are so busy preparing for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, and I think it is good to remember while we shop for gifts, prepare Christmas cards, bake cookies, etc., that God knows the desires of our heart. “Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

Praise Reports:
~ The girls returned to school after their 4-day weekend, eager to be here.
~ We are grateful that God has provided some rest periods for various staff at this busy time of year.
~ One of our girls is starting to break through some significant issues, and is starting to break the ice and talk a bit.
~ Praise for the life of Doris Loven, Sandy Heinitz’s Mom, who went to Heaven on Tuesday, the 1st of December. Please continue to pray for Sandy and her family to have strength and patience as they go through the process of grieving the loss of a loved one.
~ Praise for the donation of LOTS of fresh fruit today
~ Praise for the elves who have been decorating Agape House and School for Christmas


Prayer Requests:
~ Pray for good health for everyone, as we have had some colds going around.
~ Pray for safe travels for all who are out and about, especially with the return of winter weather.
~ Pray for the girls at Agape to truly know God's love for them.


Wish List/Needs:
~ Canned soup for the girls to heat up when they are not feeling well

Renovation Needs/Update:
The drywall has been hung, and the taping has begun! The kitchen design for the cabinets is in the works. We are so grateful to all who have offered to help achieve the completion of this renovation in any way. If you are interested in helping, please give us a call.

What would you like for Christmas? Thank you to all of you who have already made donations in response to our October letter for the renovation process.
