Kids Helping With Airdrop Bundles!

Volunteers pack donated goods into airdrop bundles in support of the 70th annual Operation Christmas Drop at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Dec. 4, 2021. Over the course of 10 days, crews will airdrop donated food, supplies, educational materials, and tools to 55 islanders throughout the South-Eastern Pacific, including the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. The international effort will allow Pacific Air Forces and partner nation Airmen to execute low-cost, low-altitude airdrop training, which will improve interoperability and communication for future real-world humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions.

A Great Multitude

Read: Revelation 7:9–12

Before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language. Revelation 7:9

We came together for our Sunday morning church service with joy and anticipation. Although we were spatially distanced because of the coronavirus pandemic, we welcomed the opportunity to celebrate Gavin and Tijana’s wedding. Our technologically gifted Iranian friends broadcast the service to friends and family spread out geographically—including in Spain, Poland, and Serbia. This creative approach helped us overcome the constraints as we rejoiced in the covenant of marriage. God’s Spirit united us and gave us joy.

That Sunday morning with our wonderfully multinational congregation was a small taste of the glory to come when people from “every nation, tribe, people and language” will stand before God in heaven (Revelation 7:9). The beloved disciple John glimpsed this “great multitude” in a vision he recounts in the book of Revelation. There those gathered will worship God together along with the angels and elders: “Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever” (v. 12).

The union and marriage of Jesus and His international bride in the “wedding supper of the Lamb” (19:9) will be an amazing time of worship and celebration. Our experience at our Sunday church service with people from many nations points to this celebration that one day we’ll enjoy.

While we wait in hope for that joyful event, we can embrace the practice of feasting and rejoicing among God’s people. — Amy Boucher Pye

How do you picture the wedding supper of the Lamb? How does being invited to this celebration affect your daily life?

Lamb of God, thank You for the invitation to the heavenly wedding.

Bible in a year: Daniel 11–12; Jude

Are you weathering the storm?

[luvie]

Gosh, it DOES! I thought he looked familiar. I think it’s the smiling eyes. Gee, I miss that guy so much.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

It’s been pretty chilly the last three days but will warm up a bit the next two. Looking at a repeat of the stormy weather we had Sunday and Monday as another front rolls through Friday night into Saturday. Oh lucky us. LOL

I see y’all got a break from snow today and even had a little sunshine here and there.

[left that other site]

She is much better, and we had dinner together tonight...fried chicken and Mac’n’Cheese.

Comfort Food.

No snow yet, but it shure feels like it.
