The Gathering Place Where Family Matters

My sister Kim was telling me about an illustration she used when she was teaching boys and girls in her Sunday school class. She was teaching them about our words. Little tubes of toothpaste were given to the children and they were allowed to squeeze the contents onto their papers. Oh how they enjoyed this! Then she gave them toothpicks and told them to use these to put the toothpaste back into the tubes. Obviously it didn’t work so well. Wisely she used this as an illustration of our words. We really can’t take them back, can we? “Karen’s Notes” speak of this today. Thanks for stopping by.

Let me take you back ten years to something that Karen wrote in her Bible study journal. A new year was about to dawn. Obviously, no one other than the Lord can see beyond the present moment as we start the journey for next year. While this was written long before the cancer diagnosis, Karen was very concerned for a number of dear folks who were facing great uncertainties as they faced the new year.

I’m excited to share “Karen’s Notes” with you today. We conclude 2020 and anticipate 2021. Thanks for stopping by today.

While many commentators write volumes about the miracle of Christmas, I think you will like Karen’s typical “to-the-point brevity about “The Sheer Miracle of Christmas!”

The Christmas season evokes various emotions in the lives of believers. Come and spend a few moments to see what Karen wrote about on that Christmas in 1988.
