What's Up Guys,
Christmas is almost here. This has been the greatest one we have ever had at Kairos, and I don’t just mean from a financial standpoint. We have catered some pretty big parties for some people who have never heard of Kairos before, and the results were pretty incredible. There is nothing like getting an e-mail or a phone call from someone who tells you that their event was the “best” food they have ever had!! That makes the hardest of hard days worth every bit of the effort! Thank you guys for loving Kairos Kafe! Don’t forget the coupon is good through the end of the week: Buy three $10 Kairos Gift Certificates and get one free. They make awesome little gifts!
Kairos Kafe Gardendale will be interviewing potential Team Members for the Gardendale Location Tuesday December 27th & Wednesday December 28th at the Gardendale Location. 10:00 till 2:00 both days. If you are interested please show up one of those days. I'm looking forward to meeting you there!!!!
The Special this week will be the Pimento Cheese Quesadilla’s with Roasted Tomato Soup. I have received a bunch of great comments on this one, so if you haven’t tried it I encourage you to experience it this week! Pickups for the Christmas Menu will be available Friday December 23rd until 7:00 p.m. at the Birmingham Location, and from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. at The Gardendale Location. I thank you in advance for allowing Kairos to be a part of your Christmas Dinner this year! The menu is posted below, on our Facebook Page, and on our blog at www.kairoskafe.blogspot.com. Call 251-3101 or email James@KairosKafe.com to place your order today! (*All items on this Menu will be picked up refrigerated with cooking directions… you are 45 minutes away from Kairos Delicious Goodness this Christmas!)
“But the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.”
This year has been one of the most meaningful years of my life. I’m getting married. I Found my Baby Brother. I have reconnected with family that I thought I would never see again. And we are opening an awesome new Kairos Kafe. This Christmas is going to be a quiet one for me as I spend time with friends and family, but more importantly reflecting on what it really means to me. Emmanuel, “God With Us” is what the bible teaches me about the true meaning of Christmas. The coolest thing about this past year is learning, from my own experience, that Jesus is always with me, and I can always have His presence, Peace, and Joy with me, at all times, and through anything that may come my way, positive or negative.
Why is it so hard to give up control? Learned a lot this year. If I give up control then miracles happen. Pretty Simple. Now I'm seeing how fruitless it is to excessively plan. I can't plan out someone else's life. I have to be careful to remember that when I'm trying to help folks. In truth I can't even plan out my own life because I really don't know what tomorrow will bring. It feels so good to let go and enjoy the ride, Love Real Big all the folks in my life and let Jesus handle the rest. I look at parents and their kids. The happiest ones seem to be the ones who allow their kids to determine what God created them to be and do. If we can't even successfully plan out our own lives then how could we do it with our children. God had a perfect plan for all of us. I'm grateful to you Jesus for teaching me to let go, trust you, and enjoy the ride!!!
I will never forget the Christmas of 1996. It was the first one I experienced after I surrendered my heart and my life to Jesus, and I was in a chapel service at Kilby Correctional Facility. There was a kid there who stood up and said he wanted to sing a song for us. He didn’t have any instruments, or any plans, and usually they would have told him to sit down, but this night they just handed him the mic and stood back.
O Holy Night… The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth….
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born…
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Oh Praise His name forever…
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
Merry Christmas to all of you from myself and the Staff here at Kairos Kafe! My prayer for all of you this Christmas is that you would experience the presence of Jesus in new and exciting ways that will blow your mind! God Bless you, and thank you for supporting Kairos!

The J.J. Translation (Matthew 22:34-30) The religious folks to Jesus "What is the most important rule that we need to obey??" Jesus to them: "LOVE REAL BIG. It don't get any deeper than that."
