Christmas Gifts From God!

I LOVE Christmas time! I love so many things about it! The greatest thing for me is the memory of my first Christmas after my wedding! Paul and I were married on August 6, 1982, 24 years ago! Can anyone say..."Donna is getting old?" This Christmas was incredible for one very important reason! Paul and I received a Christmas gift from GOD! We were introduced to the wonderful gift of JESUS! We got saved on December 14th, 1982! It was the GREATEST day of my life! We had the very best Christmas ever!

All along the way God has given me so many other amazing gifts that I could not begin to deserve! Like four awesome kids (One of whom was born one week before Christmas in 1987, Jason). He has given me a ministry that reminds me everyday of HIS miraculous ways and that HE has a plan for each of our lives and whatever it is, it is good stuff! He has given me (as His word says) a hope and a future!

This week we have been at Dave Edward's Breakfast Club in Florida! We are having a great time. We will be leaving after the concert in the morning and heading from 85 degrees to 5 degrees in Missouri...eek! But this has been an incredible week. We sure love Dave! I have to share with you an amazing thing that happened and truly it is one of those Christmas gifts from GOD!

We were singing at the Breakfast Club on Wednesday morning in Clearwater, FL. We got up very early...lol...but WOW was the drive and the early rising and the everything worth it! The crowd was so wonderful and so encouraging. We find so often they minister more to us than we do to them. Anyway, toward the end of the program my son-in-law Eddie made his way to the piano to play and have us sing the song "You Are Loved." We have seen God use this song in such powerful ways and this day was no exception. There was a man approximately 75 years old sitting in the front and when I looked down at him, I saw him weeping during this song. Soon after as Dave led in a precious invitation time. This man gave his heart to JESUS! That makes every mile worth it all! This is the greatest encouragment to our ministry! We have seen over a thousand people saved over this last 5 years. We have seen God restore marriages, lives, and so many hearts! This is our AMAZING God and we are so grateful! He is the GIFT GIVER and HE just NEVER stops!! He Lives to Love each and every one of us!

The song "You Are Loved" has proven to be a message that so many people need to hear. We actually heard from God in a very special way about this song. No...it was not an audible voice, but He layed so strongly on our hearts to re-record that song and include this new acoustic version on the album coming out in January called "Live to Love." The whole album developed a theme of LOVE! Only God could have done that. We prayed and He planned! He sent the songs and we are so thankful and excited...More Christmas gifts from God!

I hope you get some wonderful gifts this Christmas and I hope you give some away! So many people need to hear they are loved and it is never too late to find out. Just ask a 75 year old man in Clearwater, FL!

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
