Sunday greetings everyone!

A month from today will be "Boxing Day." That's what we call the day after Christmas here in Canada. I am exercising restraint in starting to play Christmas music as I think I'll get the most bang for my buck if I endure one more dark November week and then unleash the cheer to chase the gloominess away.

Today's video share is nothing to sneeze at - unless some of you are looking at the sun!

1. The later you stay up, the earlier your child will wake up the next morning.

2. For a child to become clean, something else must become dirty.

3. Toys multiply to fill any space available.

4. The longer it takes you to make a meal, the less your child will like it.

5. Yours is always the only child who doesn't behave.

6. If the shoe fits...it's expensive.

7. The surest way to get something done is to tell a child not to do it.

8. The gooier the food, the more likely it is to end up on the carpet.

9. Backing the car out of the driveway causes your child to have to go to the bathroom.

Nobody told me that when you get a husband, the ears are sold separately.

I got fired from my new job at the ice-cream factory. I refused to work on Sundaes.

"In our world full of strangers, estranged from their own past, culture and country, from their neighbors, friends and family, we witness a painful search for a hospitable place where life can be lived without fear and where community can be found.

It is possible for men and women and obligatory for Christians to offer an open and hospitable space where strangers can cast off their strangeness and become our fellow human beings."

- Henri Nouwen

Imagine yourself walking along The High street of life and each of the shop fronts has something to entice you in:

The Materialism shop offers you all the creature comforts you could ever want, but they must be returned, left right where they are when you come to the end of the street.

There are many different kinds of relationship shops that you may hop in and out of, but they may also throw you out at a moments notice and each one may leave it’s own individual scar.

Then there are the religious shops which will cause you to appear to have found an element of respectability but will tie you up in knots with the contractual complexities.

And then there is a rather straight and narrow shop and it does not appear to have nearly as many customers as the others, but it keeps all it’s promises and will attend to your every need even though what is on offer remains simple and has never changed with the latest fashions. It will supply all that is required for you to pass on from the High Street of Life to the Road of Eternal life.

Each shop is a voice calling to you. Which will you listen to?

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

This month The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and her amazing husband will celebrate 54 years of marital bliss. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone. It only seems like yesterday that we got married. Maybe that’s the benefit of getting old.

I remember the beginning of our life together. I went to a Bible college to prepare for the pastoral ministry, and that’s where I met her.
