Wishing our community a Merry Christmas.

Please continue to pray for our fellow Western North Carolinians. This is a horrible tragedy and every little bit helps.

Today we were able to take one of our first run of donations to Samaritans Purse that will be taken directly to those in need and we will continue to accept donations at Omega for those who would like to drop things off for us to organize and get to Samaritan’s Purse.

God bless Western North Carolina and all those affected by this terrible storm.

Wanted to give a big thank you and shout out to the wonderful ladies at Alamance Register of Deeds. They are the unsung hero’s that put together the final death certificates for families so they can take care of their loved ones estates, wills, life insurance etc. They work hard behind the scenes to bring all the pieces together.

This is Caitlyn and Elaine. They are always smiling and always happy to serve.

An Embalmer's Hands

God gave us hands to use for him, to use in different ways. Doctors use their hands to bring life into the world and to maintain life as long as possible. Artists use their hands to capture life on canvas. Authors write of life with it's joys and heartaches. Sculptors use their hands to give hope to their creative ideas.

But you, the embalmer, take that from which life has gone, and attempt to work miracles, and you do! You have no life with which to work, but you are expected to make your masterpiece lifelike. Family and friends pass by and inspect your work, not knowing how many hours were spent, nor understanding the agonizing of the heart that went into the masterpiece which you created.

You know that in a few short hours your masterpiece will return to mother earth, never again to be viewed by mortal eyes. Yet you must go on, another day, another masterpiece. You cannot rise in the morning and say, "I think I will write another chapter in my book today" or "I think I will work on my picture today."

When you rise, you can say, "God gave me hands and a job to do. Today I am going to take that which authors write about, artists paint, and doctors work hard to keep alive. I am going to create another masterpiece today."
Together, God and I. Yes, my masterpiece will return to mother earth, but God's masterpiece, man's soul, can live forever.

I am an Embalmer, using my hands for God.
