									Wishing You A Colorful and Fruitful 2015 
									 
									A Year-End Thought for You: 
								
									An Ending is Really A Beginning 
									  
									We all want to “run the race” faithfully. We want to end well 
									But also keep in mind that life contains many seasons 
									And each season has a start and an end to it 
									  
									Starts and ends don’t jump from black to white 
									They merge into "a greyish hue" for a time 
									As do dawn and dusk 
									Before sunrise or sunset 
									  
									So in "the grey" of some seasons 
									Take care to handle changes with thought and integrity 
									Be mindful of details and of others' feelings too 
									 
									Every ending overlaps every new beginning 
									...and colors it in some way 
									 In fact, the ending of one season 
									Is the very start of the next 
									 
									Love, Melody

									Keeping it Simple 
									 
									Please remember LDM in your year-end giving 
									We need an abundance of generous year-end gifts 
									 
									This year was difficult for me, which made it hard on everyone 
									My move took forever and was costly for LDM 
									I also needed 6 weeks recovery from major surgery 
									 
									My communication with you is very important 
									But I couldn't write as much as usual and LDM has suffered 
									We just let a long-term staffer go for lack of funding 
									 
									Great testimonies about our web-ministry arrive daily 
									  Join us in reaching the world with Jesus' love 
									 
									So please remember us 
								
									And send your best gift possible 
								
									 Remember too that we are always 
									grateful for each of you.

									LDM helps others start well with Jesus 
									So they can end well with Him, too. 
									Join our efforts with your year-end gift.
