Reflection: To God Be All The Glory! He brought us through a year filled with chaos, sickness, death, struggles, and issues. The fact that you are here, reading this reflection, is reason enough to shout! God has shown His undying love for us. We have conquered this year and with God’s grace and mercy we will conquer 2021 with the full army of God. God’s love for us has allowed space for us to enjoy our family and friends, even during a National Pandemic. God is our everything; Our Joy; Our Strength; Our Peace; Our Protection; and most important, Our Love!! How will you share this joy, strength, peace, protection, and love with others?
John 16:33 (KJV)
“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world.”

Go, Tell It On The Mountain
Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
1 While shepherds kept their watching
o’er silent flocks by night,
behold, throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light. [Refrain]
2 The shepherds feared and trembled
when lo! above the earth
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Savior‘s birth. [Refrain]
3 Down in a lowly manger
the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
