17th December 2014 Sorry I am very late with todays word. John 15 v 12: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Says it all, but so many times we come up against people we (if we are honest) find it hard to love, yet it is Jesus command to all of us. It is the time of year for parties etc, yes our Church had a Christmas evening last night. It was wonderful to spend time together and have some fun. Most parts of our Country now have Street Pastors who work Friday & Saturday nights on the streets of our Towns (please pray for them this will be a very busy couple of weeks for them). They meet many people, some worse for wear with drink and fights, homelessness, teenagers wandering the streets etc, yet they offer help where they can and the Lords love where it is needed. Also involved during their time on the streets, Police, Ambulances, Paramedics (including all who work at the Hospitals), where things have got out of hand. Again, their work is not confined to Christmas but all the year round, a peaceful presence, even the Police have thanked them, as they know having them has improved problems in areas at the weekends.The one I have not included but wish to, are the Fire Service. I dont know if they have been out with the Street Pastors at any time, but I do realise that everyone mentioned here work without judgement and all offer help to all. Lord we thank you for the wonderful work of all emergency services, many who will be working over Christmas, including Street Pastors. Please protect and strengthen them and their resolve to do their work with the verse above, and, to continue to share Your love to all. Please Bless and encourage them all. Bless their families on Christmas day without family who have to work during this time, In Your name I pray, Amen! Sleep well all, :) xx youtu.be/PrLoWt2tfqg
