SCRIPTURE: “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning...

SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:8-20 VISIO DIVINA: Center yourself by taking a deep breath and relaxing your body as best you can. Allow your shoulders to lower away from your ears.

Practice hospitality.” Romans 12:9-12

Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” Ephesians 3:18-19 Becky Olmstead...
