Bible Verse of the Day

• 38 Give, and it will be given to you, a good measure—pressed down, shaken, overflowing—they will pour out into your lap. For with the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you in return.

Sharing Christmas

• Christmas memory that stands out the most - When I was little boy, my dad's company went belly up. That Christmas he wanted to make sure us three boys had a great Christmas. He was a very good carpenter and had a chance to remodel a hardware store. His payment was all of the electric train equipment that was stored in the basement of the hardware store such as engines, tracks, cars, and enough to fill a gigantic ping pong table. It was last minute, so my mom and dad didn't know how to present it to us. Our tree was upstairs with the presents they were able to put together. We opened those up and assumed that was it, knowing that the year was tough and we weren't expecting much. When we were finished opening the presents, we thanked mom and dad and started going downstairs. Unexpectedly mom and dad said, "Don't go down there." Of course that sparked our interest immensely and as we looked at them, they looked at each other and then said, "Ok boys, go on down." We went downstairs and opened the door. It looked like a whole department store full of trains. It was so overwhelming to the three of us. I remember it like it was just yesterday.
