Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:26-33 NKJV
Christmas can be the busiest and most hurried time if we are not careful. So while you are in the middle of your decorating, cooking, buying, and wrapping, STOP, just for a moment. Relax and let your mind rest, on the one who provides rest for our souls, that is Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Remember the residents especially these next few weeks. While everyone is thinking delightful thoughts about sugar-plum fairies, many of our kids are reminded of what they do not have, not stuff, but genuine family. Please pray that they will be able to focus on the family that they do have. Whether that is here at GYR or the family at home.

RESIDENTS
Jessyca, Julie, Marissa, Anna, Jayvon, Justin, Stevie, Luke, Christian, Brittany, Alison, Ryan, Allie
Brittney - graduates on December 7th.
Several of the older girls are dealing with the stress of the newer and/or younger residents that they have to live with. Sometimes we forget that we were once in their shoes.
The boys have been working very hard to catch the girls in their barn chores. While the girls did get the house trophy again this month, several of the boys placed in the top three. I think your prayers are really paying off for them. They each seem to be settling in and working hard to accomplish what needs to be done.
HOUSE-PARENTS
Hardings, Swaffords, & Candy Davids, Pam & Brian Fields
Pray for rest during the Christmas season for all of our HP's. Pray that the Lord will fill them with Fresh Wind and Fresh Fire for their ministry and for the kids that they call their own. Pray that their marriages and their own families will be strengthened in the Lord. Pray that they will be protected from the enemy at every turn.
May God, our Father, bless and keep you well. May the path of your life be lit with the light of Eternity and as you walk that path we pray that you always choose to be guided by the Spirit of God. Merry Christmas!
Your friend,
Dwayne
