Aloha friends!
Below please find this weeks "Call to Prayer" from Lt Col Morelock.
The following scripture was taken from a devotional that I receive each day - "Daily Light on the Daily Path". May these words remind you of God's love for you during this Christmas time. May the rich blessings of this Advent Season be yours today.
December 16
Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which you have given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. - Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. - A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. - Christ ... loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.
John 13:1. John 17:9,10,15,16. John 15:9. John 15:13,14. John 13:34. Phi. 1:6. Eph. 5:25,26.

CALL TO PRAYER!
The Salvation Army Call to Prayer for December 16, 2011
During this Holiday Season, share the Christmas Joy with every one your meet! Remember to pray for all those who will be standing kettles, packing boxes of food, sorting toys, and preparing Christmas Dinners for the needy and shut-ins. May God bless and touch those who are giving to help the needy. “What is the reason for the Season?” It is Jesus!
My Dream for The Salvation Army; Vision 27, Responsive to the voice of God …”That our people would be quick to respond to the voice of God for whatever he calls them to.” Fleur Hodge (From the book, “One Day - a dream for the Salvation Army” by Commissioner James Knaggs and Stephen Court.)
