    Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Stefanie and Dr Craig Thayer, Dr Paul Hall, and Ron Greer With Guest, Pastor Will Hobbs - A Call to Prayer During this Holiday Season Dear Friends, As you and our team prayerfully attend Christmas programs at church, family gatherings in homes, neighborhood walks to see Christmas lights and more, you will be in our prayers! As we said last week, Christmas is about the Greatest Gift ever given to the world. It’s not just about decorations, lights, trees and gifts , but rather a reminder that no one is beyond Gods reach or love. The miracle and prayer stay with us always… now there’s an expectaions raiser! For all God gave us at Christmas, I always think first of (simply put) two things… 1. He was born in a manger because there was no room for them anyplace in Bethlehem! One couple took pity on them and gave them their barn which was really a small cave where animals would sleep and take shelter. It was a dirty, disgusting and undesirable place. They laid Him in a manger there - a rough trough from which the animals ate their food. What a humbling setting… *but God had a reason, to show us that He always shows up in the most unlikely places. His love doesn’t start at the top and work its way to the bottom…No His love starts at the very bottom and works its way up to the top! It’s a beautiful story that reminds us that no one is beyond Gods reach and love! 2. Secondly, when God really wanted to express His level of love for us and desire to change us, to know us personally, *He Showed up in person! He said there is no place I won’t go in order to find you and connect with you! Friends, Christmas is time to celebrate that Almighty God didn’t forget us. He didn’t send a book and say read this…no He showed up in person! So take Him out of the manger and receive Him into your heart by faith! Discover how He will show up for us everyday in every way for He is only a Prayer away! As the Great old hymn says; Oh how I love Jesus Oh how I love Jesus… Oh how I love Jesus Because He First loved me! Merry Christmas from myself and all your “ Raising Expectations “ team family
