week of December 10

Hey, ladies.

On Sunday December 17, Donna Coon will lead Sunday school. The class will be on a topic she chooses, so if you have the book you can take the week off and we'll pick up in it again on December 31st.

Today we discussed the Samaritan Woman at the well as well as Mary and Martha. You know what is so encouraging to me? That God takes us where we are because He sees what we will become with Him in our lives. The Samaritan woman had made such a mess of her life, but Jesus still sought her out. She didn't even have to go look for Him. Wow!

And between Luke 10:38-41 and John 12, I take great comfort in the fact that Jesus didn't completely change Martha (or Mary for that matter). Instead, He softened both of them. Martha still served but without holding it against Mary for not helping. And Mary still worshipped extravagently.

God is good. So rejoice in how He made you this holiday season!
