Wednesday Night at the Esquire!
What We Need: A Simple Mission
Charlie Brown and the holidays just go together. I can remember watching a Charlie Brown special on Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. My parents would let me drag a spare mattress in the front room, where I could get comfortable in front of the TV, and spend an evening with Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Pig Pen, and Snoopy. I could hear the crackle of the wood stove in our home. And I would smell the great aroma of my mom’s cooksing. I have so many great memories of my childhood, especially centered around the holidays. Life was simple then.
The best things in life are the simple things.
In November at the Esquire, we’re going back to the basics as we look at a few characters from Charlie Brown. We’ll talk about the three parts of our mission statement: Sharing Faith, Offering Hope, and Showing Love. We’ll see how this basic, but very powerful trio can bring us back to a life that is less complicated, and headed in the right direction.
We’ll finish up the month with a look at being thankful. And even as the Apostle Paul said, we always thank God for all of you. May you have a happy Thanksgiving!
