Verse of the Day:  Matthew 6:14-15  

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Fruit of the Spirit: Life is too short to hold on to pain and grudges from the past. Trust in God, let go of anger, and give the gift of forgiveness not only to someone who may need forgiveness, but to yourself as well. Include forgiveness on your to-do list this holiday season and embrace Love and Peace to create a Joyful atmosphere rooted in the true spirit of Christmas.
