Fishing for men……….

You may be wondering what some lobster floats has to do with Christmas?  Let me start by asking you a question, please?  Which Christmas is this for you?  Your first, your tenth, your forty fifth?    I have often thought that your first “real” Christmas comes after you’ve given your heart and life to the One Who’s birth we celebrate.  Once you know Him you will never look at Christmas the same way, ever again!  My greatest hope, my deepest desire, is that everyone I know and love will know Christmas as I know it.  There are dozens of people that are on my specific prayer list, people whom I greatly love, that have not yet accepted Christ’s offer of forgiveness.

In scripture it says he will make us fishers of men.  I know that is what I am, it is my most fervent mission.  What better time could there be to meet Him than as we approach His birthday!

I can tell you one thing for certain, you will never receive any gift so precious as His love, acceptance and forgiveness!

Merry Christmas,

the pilgrim

P.S.  I had lunch with Chuck Summers today, we both drove over a couple of  hours each to have one of our too infrequent lunches.  On the drive home I was reminded of how blessed I am to have a man like Chuck, be willing to call me his friend!  This is just one of the wonderful rewards of accepting our Lord!  He will fill your life with His special servants and you’re new bothers and sisters!
