#122 Pause

WELCOME to A Good Word Wednesday!
.
A little bit of goodness, encouragement and hope in your mailbox today.
“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” Proverbs 12:25
When is it time to press pause? Pause. It’s Your Good Word for Your Wednesday.
Good Word of the Day: Pause
It’s time. It’s time for me to press pause. Not stop. Just pause for only a few weeks. I feel the need for an extended break and what better time than the end of the year? How about you? Do you need a break? Do you need to press pause, if only for a little while?
Here’s my plan. I will press pause after today for only six weeks. That means, I will be back with you with new Good Words on January 8th. But, just in case you should miss me and need some good words, here is a plan for you for the next six Wednesdays:
Nov. 27 Sensing the Changing Seasons
Dec. 4 Serve #70
Dec. 11 Story #74
Dec. 18 Presents and Presence #21
Dec. 25 Birth
Jan. 8 Begin #78
PLEASE, highlight this email in your inbox so you can return to it each Wednesday!
After you pause and read the posts listed above, here are six actions you can take:
Purchase Unseen People.
Post a review on the page above.
Purchase Unseen People for friends and family on your Christmas List. It would fit great in a stocking!

5.0 out of 5 stars See Beyond Ourselves
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
They may be all around you or they may be far away but they are real. DeAnna Sanders reminds us that Unseen People exist. In a world where we are constantly told to focus on ourselves we are commanded by Christ to fish for people wherever we find ourselves. This is a very relatable and challenging book to look beyond ourselves and minister to others around the corner and around the world.

A Final Good Word
Thank you for an amazing year. I’ve written and posted 50 Good Words for you that you’ve received and read. Thank you. You helped me launch Unseen People out into the world. Thank you. You may be one of the many who have joined the Good Word family this year. Thank you. You may be one of the few who have been with me since the beginning. Thank you. For all of you who read, share, like and comment, Thank you. I look forward to sharing more good words with you each week in 2025. After a time to power down, rest, reflect, worship and celebrate, I will meet you back here on January 8th.
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.” Jeremiah 30:2
