CAN ANYONE TELL ME, WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT?

I could hear Charlie Brown yelling in my head as I was watching the news broadcast about the mayhem that happened on Black Friday.  “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”   


From the time of its first telecast and every year since December 9, 1965, Charlie Brown has been yelling this from the rooftops.  Poor Charlie Brown, the materialism and commercialism of Christmas had him depressed. 
(This treasured holiday special usually airs the first week of December, but to be sure check your local listings).


     



Lucy encouraged Charlie Brown to get involved and direct the school play.  Though he was reluctant and struggled, he learns the true meaning of Christmas. 

Who says we can’t learn from cartoons…there are so many opportunities available for us to help others get in the proper mood:

How about doing a walk through the Yellow Pages and picking out a few people to send a card to (DO NOT put your return address on the card and sign from Your Heavenly Father).

Join a local church in reaching out to the communities.

Or go to a convalescent home,visit a patient who has not had any visitors (check with the activities coordinator). 






Yes, I’m joining Charlie Brown in an attempt to restore the proper spirit of Christmas, but instead of us waiting on Linus; WE can show and tell others what the true meaning of Christmas is all about; it is about our Savior, Christ our Lords’ birth.  


From the Pausing With God family to yours,
God bless you with a Merry Christmas 
and a Blessed New Year!




PAUSE and send us a comment on your plans to make a difference.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE A couple of months ago, I went to a church event to do a book signing.    The person in charge directed to a spot where I was to set up.  Ah, I thought I have the best seat in the house, right next to the biggest grill I have ever seen.  I introduced myself to the chef.  In between the turning of his ribs, chicken, and Italian sausage; we found out that we had something in common.  He loves to cook and feed people and me, I just love people. Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-stop food and fun, w e were able to share a message of hope

Tammy's Journey 'Through'

Image
Some years ago, Tammy had a good friend pass away from her battle with breast cancer; this unfortunate event caused her to begin to think about the importance of mammogram screenings. In September 2009, while lying in her bed; Tammy had an itch on her left breast and while examining herself she felt a lump.   Soon after, Tammy made her way to the doctors.  An hour  and  a half after her visit, her cell phone rang, the nurse informed her that the doctor saw something suspicious and ordered a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) (a) on her right breast.  Tammy gave a perplexed reply, “You mean my left breast that is where I felt the lump.”  The nurse asked Tammy to hold on for a second, when she returned to the phone she said, “No, the right breast.”  As Tammy headed for her MRI appointment, she encountered additional tension, you see she is claustrophobic.  During the procedure, Tammy chose to repeat over and over again, Isaiah 41:10, Fear not for I am with thee.   Once the assessment w
