Friends, please PRAY WITHOUT CEASING for Betsy Wyatt…5yrs old; encephalitus has settled in her brain stem; she’s in the Pediatrics ICU at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Ft. Worth; her parents are Ricky and Linda Wyatt; her big sister’s name is Kami.
This Christmas if you’re feeling heavy and your heart’s hurting, serve somebody.
 Yeah, step outta the box of hurt and feelings and what’s weighin’ on ya…. and SERVE SOMEBODY!
From my heart to yours,
Merry Christmas 
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests (Luke 2:14 NIV).
 WOW, when I read that verse just now, the words on whom his favor rests grabbed me! On whom his favor rests…mmmm, so what rests on you? Does His favor rest on you?
Hmmm…points to ponder with you and God.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Uhmmm…coping with the effects of severe head trauma is RIPPER hard!
It’s not what ya see; it’s on the inside…that’s where TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) does its dirty number on us…mentally, emotionally and cognitively!
 People don’t usually pick up this because they can’t SEE it, it’s not obvious to them! (This is part of the “meanness” of head trauma; it’s not always what meets the eyes.)
Choosing to COPE is an everyday battle!
Please PRAY for TBI Survivors this Christmas; there’s more to it than what your eyes see!
What does your life say when your mouth isn’t moving?
…..that’s The Question of Life!…..so, think about it long and hard, without words, what are you saying with your life? With your tone of voice? With your eye language? With your touch? With your gestures?
THINK.
Starting today, choose to live life on-purpose!

In the midst of this crazy time of year, make the effort, lay-hold of the opportunity to give away some encouragement - what I call, Vitamin B-12 (it gives strength to the heart) - give it to someone who crosses your path today, whether you know ‘em or not…..remember, small things make a BIG difference!
 MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU!!!
