THOUGHTS
A
Dictator's Ego
When Adolph Hitler was
looking for a chauffeur, he interviewed 30 different men. The one he finally
hired had one key characteristic - he was the shortest. Though the man had to
have special blocks put under his seat so he could see over the steering wheel,
he was Hitler's chauffeur for the rest of his life.
Some people use others to
make themselves feel bigger. Jesus did just the opposite; He took on the role
of a servant. He made himself smaller so that we might know God's love.
Mark
10:45
For even
the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as
a ransom for many.
I love you all,
Tim

UPCOMING EVENTS
** Our mission contribution is today. The money
contributed will go toward our supported missions. Pledge sheets are available

Giveaway is also today. We are giving a bag with ham and additional items to
the addresses or people we have helped in the past year. A letter has been sent

Byrd’s Nest, Thompson’s in Canyon, Milk House Market in Friona and Bed, Bath
& Beyond. We are asking everyone to also bring a Christmas ornament that
you have signed on the back.
** The Omicron Study Club is
sponsoring Christmas angels this year. We have
volunteered to take care of 20 angels. The angel descriptions are on
the
bulletin board across from the office. We are asked to purchase a
jacket, shirt,
underwear and toy for each child. Please pick up an angel and be sure
to add
your name to the sign-up sheet. You are welcome to pick up more than
one angel.
Please return the unwrapped gifts to the office by December 6th, in a
bag with the angel description attached. You may also participate
by sending a contribution to the office, Box 357.
