Loista joulun tähti, halki aikojen
Kiitollisin mielin lähestymme vuoden 2024 loppua Mistä voisin olla kiitollinen? Monestakin asiasta. Siitä, että olemme saaneet pysyä uskossa ja luottavaisina Taivaan Isäämme. Eräässä laulussa sanotaankin: laske siunaukset päivittäin, huomaa Herran hyvyys hetkittäin....
