Over the last few months, several of my writer friends and I have been working together to come up with this collections of Christian Romance Christmas stories. Ten different stories by eleven different authors as two worked together on one of the novellas.
None of the stories are the same. Each one is as unique as the author who created it. Each one touching readers in different ways by using diverse perspectives, character problems, and situations.
As I thought of the writing by all the different authors to create this body of work, it reminded me how we as the body of Christ are to work together. Independently and some together, but all for the common good to further the Good News.
None of our stories are the same, but all carry a common theme. Most are contemporary, a few are historical, but all are encouraging.
And I thought, isn’t that what we, the church, are doing?
While I am writing stories that entertain, they also encourage readers in the faith. Another person works a job but proofreads on the side so that my stories can be the best they can be. Others may be working jobs that provide good income to support ministries. Then there are those who run the ministry and those who do the work of the evangelist.
But all come together to create the tapestry of the work of the body of Christ.
And how amazing that God uses each of us in such different ways. Indeed, many times we don’t even know when He is using us for His good pleasure to help others. As He uses us together, He makes things work to His good.
As the scripture says- some plant seed, others water, and later the harvest is brought in. None did all the work, but all will be rewarded.
Do the work the Lord has placed before you and don’t worry if you think it’s not important. Your current work may be part of a collection.

Oh, as for the title, mulled cider is a warm drink usually served during the Christmas season. To go with our togetherness and collective theme, the cider is heated with other ingredients such as cinnamon, cloves, orange, and sugar.
