FEBRUARY: The Month of Love!Valentines Day Brings thoughts OfLOVE! How exciting to see the flowers,
hearts and Cupid with his bow and arrows.
It is a time for sweetheart banquets,
married couples renewing their vows and
reminiscing of days gone by; counting
the blessings that God has given them.
Someone has said, love makes the world
go around. This is a very good saying.
But why just one month out of the year?
I know that the above things mentioned
refer to human romantic love and we needto show and tell those that we love we
indeed do love them.
But what about the greatest LOVE of
allthe love that God had for us when He
gave His Son so that we through faith in
Him could have eternal life.
If you are a Christian Stop and Think for
a momentcan you imagine such love as
the Father had for us; He gave His only
begotten Son. For God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting
life. John 3:16. What love! to think that
God would give His own lovely Son, for
man that is so unloveable, is more than I
can comprehend.
--But What About Christian Love
Christian love should endure longer andgrow stronger each day. Does the world
see Christ in the life that we live before
themeveryday? We should practice the
moral and ethical standards of Christian
principles regarding love toward our
fellow man. We serve Him because we
love Him. We have the love of God in
us. We should prove our love for Him by
loving and helping those in need.
Some Examples From TheScriptures That We as ChristiansShould Practice!
John 13:34A new commandment I give
you, That ye love one another; as I have loved
that ye also love one another.
John 15:12This is my commandment, tha
love one another, as I have loved you.
Matthew 5:44Love your enemies, bless t
that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
pray for them which despitefully use you,
persecute you.
Romans 12:9-10Let love be without hypoc
Abhor that which is evil; cleve to that whic
good. Be kindly affectionate one to another
brotherly love; in honor preferring one anoth
.
Romans 13:10Love worketh no ill to
neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of
law.
Then There Is The 13th Chapter
I Corinthians.
Please get your Bible and look this up now
read it. After you read it PLEASE begin to a
these principals to your life.
He that loveth not, knowetnot God;
For God is Love.I John 4:8

Every Donation Counts!I am so thankful to the many of you that responded to
our Thanksgiving and Christmas appeal for financial
help and in-kind donations. Even after all of these
years I still get a little apprehensive at the beginning of
the season wondering if there is going to be enough
money to meet financial needs, food for food bags and
our dinners here at the Mission and gifts for those that
spend their Christmas in the Mission. And, you know,
God is still faithful, you have responded to His call and
we made it through another year.
I do appreciate you and all that you do for the Lord and
for the things that is accomplished here at the Mission
for HIM because of you!
Someone has said, I can only make a small insignificant
donation. No donation is too small or insignificant.
Please remember that! What really touches my heart
are those donations from people that I know cannot
afford to give, yet they want to be a part of helping thehomeless. You know, God blesses them for what they
do and I would not want to be the one that deprives
them of a blessing from God.
Then, I am thankful for our faithful donors that give
to the Mission every month and besides this they
respond to our special appeal letters. The work of the
Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission is a ministry and
it is Gods work. But without all of you that support
this ministry it would be impossible for us to meet
the needs of so many that come to us for help. Yes,every donation counts, those from our regular donors,
occasional donors and those from the one-time donors,
no matter how small it all counts. We put it all together
and take it to the bank, deposit it, and it all helps to keep
the Mission in operation.
ThankYOUForGivingToThe
LORDThroughtheMission
