Hi Conor
How are you today? I’m doing pretty good. We are getting some winter weather today. Ice and snow. Not good for drivers. So I’ll worry all day till everyone is home safe. ;) Is it rain or snow by you?

Pay It Backward
READ:
Luke 6:27-36If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Luke 6:33
Would you pay the bill for the people in the car behind you at a fast-food drive-thrueven if you didnt know them?
That was the challenge given by a local Christian radio station to change their community. It was called The Drive-Thru Difference. The goal was to do a Christlike act of kindness for people who didnt expect it and to leave a note saying you did it because of your love for Christ.
Why do this? Why spend money for someone elses foodespecially someone we dont know and who may be hostile to the faith? Why give without any hope of return? It sounds countercultural, but the idea has strong biblical basis.
Notice what Jesus said as He addressed a large crowd: If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? (Luke 6:32-33). Clearly, Jesus wants us to do good to people who can in no way pay us back.
Whether were paying someones bill at Taco Bell or dropping change into the Salvation Army kettle, our concern should be selfless givingwhether we get credit for it or not. In Jesus name, who can you bless today?
Be a servant of the Lord
And do not look for a reward;
Not for glory or for fame,
Just give freely in His name. Roworth
The motive of giving reveals the character of the giver more than the gift itself.

Michael Buble is so talented isn’t he. :) I’m glad you are enjoying some music! I have so much Christmas music, I listen all day. In the car, at home. If it’s not on, I have a song stuck in my head. LOL!
