Reflection:  <\/strong>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?<\/p>\n

John 16:33 (KJV)<\/strong>
\n“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.” <\/em><\/p>\n

Hebrews 12:11 (KJV)  <\/strong>
\n“No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.” <\/span>
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
\n<\/strong>“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord<\/span> your God will be with you wherever you go.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Philippians 4:13 (KJV)<\/strong>
\n“I can do all things through him who gives me strength.” <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go, Tell It On The Mountain<\/strong>
\nRefrain:
\nGo, tell it on the mountain,
\nover the hills and everywhere;
\ngo, tell it on the mountain
\nthat Jesus Christ is born.<\/p>\n

1 While shepherds kept their watching
\no\u2019er silent flocks by night,
\nbehold, throughout the heavens
\nthere shone a holy light. [Refrain]<\/p>\n

2 The shepherds feared and trembled
\nwhen lo! above the earth
\nrang out the angel chorus
\nthat hailed our Savior\u2018s birth. [Refrain]<\/p>\n

3 Down in a lowly manger
\nthe humble Christ was born,
\nand God sent us salvation
\nthat blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]<\/p>\n
