Rejoicing

Mt 5:23-24 

Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

You may not like what God thinks of our relationships down here,

But you better do things His way in order to escape something severe.

Before you worship the Lord, think carefully what you have done.

You must reconcile your differences, never leaving these things undone.

When you make things right with the brethren, God surely looks and smiles,

And then when you worship next time, you know you have settled your trials.(RP)

The retina specialist said Margie's eye is doing better, gave another injection in the eye, and told us to return in 2 month.  Before we have seen him every month or so.  We are pleased and thank all who have prayed for her eye situation.  And we will continue to do so.  We are looking forward to a long time friend, Janet Shroyer to visit us today. Her husband Bill Shroyer was pastor of our church when we were missionaries in Brazil.  He recently died and she is revisiting our area this week.  Thanks folks for your prayers.
