We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas at the Tacoma Rescue Mission. We are surrounded by great people, both volunteers and staff who are dedicating their time, talent and resources to helping serve those most needy in our community. Together we are able to really make a difference in the lives of hurting people.
These are definately challenging and uncertain times for many. Indeed, it has been a tough environment for the Mission to be building and growing. Yet I have no fear of the uncertainty and neither should you this Christmas. Our trust is in God, not in our own wisdom or efforts. We will do all we can to be wise and discerning in doing the work before us, but we must relax and know that it will all work out for good.
When I watch my kids stressing over presents that I have already wrapped and have ready to put under the tree I think of how God must look at us when we worry. He’s already got the gift ready for you.
This Christmas I hope you are able to enjoy all the great things around you and count your blessings. I’m counting you among my blessings this year. I’ve got the best friends and teammates. Thanks to all who make the work of the Tacoma Rescue Mission possible.
