The Case of the Christmas Suitcase–Curse or Blessing

Last Thursday was the day for our three Brazilian students and friends who are attending Ambassador Baptist College to fly home for Christmas.  They so graciously consented to taking another loaded suitcase, full of Christmas presents and other items, to our son and daughter-in-law who are missionaries in Brazil .  It was nearly 5 pm and I had been thinking about them throughout the day and praying for a safe flight and for the extra suitcase to get there without any problems going through customs.  A text came through on my phone which said, PRAY – they will not let us check the suitcase – embargo in Brasilia.  Oh me.  I called and texted everyone I could and asked them to pray.  We heard from them again – no, they could not take the suitcase.  Someone needed to pick it up right away.  Well, we live over an hour away from the airport and they were supposed to board their plane in an hour!  My husband jumped in the car and took off, but t...

Even Charlie Brown and Linus Knew the True Meaning of Christmas

Jesus gave to the undeserving   - ungodly Romans 5:6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
