Our Missions Conference is in full swing. The National Missionaries gave testimonies, sang in their native languages and visited the Sunday School classes. We had a gentleman from Mexico and another from Bangladesh in our class. It is so interesting to hear their stories, and to realize they are just like we are - loving the Lord and anxious to tell others about Him. They are married, have families, love their country as we love ours.
Today my Sunday School class is cooking and serving lunch for them. We chose soup and chili and desserts. The temperature this morning is 40 degrees, so the hot soup should 'hit the spot'. These men are from countries that are usually very hot, so this may seem like the Arctic to them!
I leave you this morning, wishing you sunshine and a happy day!
Perhaps today did not start out well for you. Maybe you face a host of trouble that threatens to turn this into a day of despair. Turn your attention to Jesus. Review what He did for you at Calvary and how He conquered death by His resurrection.
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
One day He’s coming—O glorious day!
When life gets too hard to stand --- kneel!
Keeping you in prayers. Blessings
ReplyDeleteYou may count on my prayers for both you and your surgeon, Linda. You will be fine!! How interesting to be able to hear the stories first hand, from the visiting missionaries. I know the soups and the fellowship today will be wonderful!!
ReplyDeletePrayers have just gone up for your surgery, the surgeon and quick healing.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you in my prayers and ask for a quick recovery. I know this sounds terrible, but I can't remember what you are having surgery for, apparently it has something to do with your hand or arm, since you said you will be one handed for a while. Good luck. Speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThats ok Patty, sometimes I cant remember either! I am having the joint in my thumb on my left hand, replaced. Have already had the right done. It is painful, but when healed, no pain.
DeleteKeeping you and all the wonderful medical people working on you tomorrow in my prayers. I pray that all that pain will be relieved as well. Jesus will never forget you or your needs.
ReplyDeleteIt's cooler here now. Wish I had some of that hot soup and chili! YUM!
God bless. ~:)
Overseas missionaries have such heart-touching stories. I always love hearing them.
ReplyDeleteYou, your doctor and all the surgical team are in my prayers. God bless.
I'm thinking the surgery is done at this time. Praying for quick healing!
ReplyDeleteThe surgery is tomorrow, but appreciate your prayers.
DeletePrayers out to you and your surgeon for much success tomorrow. Heal quickly, my friend.
