EYE DOCTOR

Psalm 92:1

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High.

Some people do not like to sing; others do it with ease,

God asks us to sing praises, and do it as we please.

We should always give thanks to Him; do this today,

And your life will be filled with blessings, when you obey.(RP)

This morning Margie will see her eye doctor for a regular procedure. While in town we will pick up a few things before returning home. Yesterday was a delightful day at church. After the service we stopped to visit our friends the Borakers. Everett has not been able to attend church due to poor health. At home we had a leisurely day. It was a VERY windy day. Many people are without power. Ours flickered twice but did not go out. We are thankful. Thanks for praying. 

OFF TO CHURCH WE GO

1 Corinthians 14:33 

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

People can cause real confusion, but God cannot be blamed for it,

The author of peace is God, and gives it freely to those who submit.

Thank God churches can have His direction, if they will seek His will,

And He will lead and guide each one as His word they try to fulfill.(RP)

We got a late start this morning, but are happy we can go to church. We think of many who cannot. We had a full day yesterday working on different projects, mostly related to our ministry. We had a scare during the night. Margie slipped in the bathroom, but thankfully we were able to get her up, she doing most the work to manipulate her body and get herself into bed. We are thankful. Thank you all who pray..

DECORATIONS

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.1 Timothy 6:6-8

A Christian who lives in harmony with God, has much to be thankful for,

The Word of God instructs us well; there is so much we cannot ignore.

We love contentment, and God promises this; we must read and obey,

This way, we depend on Him, and for us that makes everything okay. (RP)

Today we are putting the finishing touches to some Christmas decorations. It is simple, and we are spending a lot of time on it. Yesterday's Bible class was a blessing and we had a pretty good attendance. The weather has changed to mild, and windy. Thanks for your prayer support.

SENIOR CENTER

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

We mortals sometimes get mixed up, and think we can do many things,

God knows best, and so should we, that on our own we have many dings.

Man cannot save himself you know, this is a work only our Savior can do,

Lost sinners can always find salvation in Christ, and this means you too.

Impossibilities with man are made possible with God, if we only go to Him,

Take your problem to Him and leave it there; this way you'll never be grimm.(RP)

As always, we look forward to the Bible class this morning. Hopefully there will be a good group today. Yesterday went well and Margie has already started her special preparation for our trip to the allergist next week. She (and I) will be glad when that is history. She is doing so much better than before the last testing, so we know it was time to have this done again. Thanks so much for your prayers. 

HIGH WINDS

1 Corinthians 2:14 

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Those without Christ don't understand His ways,

Watching the Christian who reads His word and prays.

They think it all foolishness; they just don't understand,

They don't have God's Spirit; they can't know firsthand.

But when they invite Jesus into their lives,

Their understanding changes and hope arrives.(RP)

The weatherman told us there would be high winds today, and there are. Last night we had a wonderful time at Anthony's, as guests of Armond Daws and his daughter Linda and her husband, Carl.  What a great meal we had and wonderful visit. We always marvel at Armond's health. At 96 plus, he does well. Today I take Margie to the hairdresser and in the afternoon we attend prayer meeting at church. We trust you are doing well. Thanks for your prayers.

WASH DAY

Then Peter said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. Acts 3:6

By the world's standard Peter had nothing to help him,

But in terms of eternity,he gave something on a whim.

He had Jesus who heals the sick, and raises the dead,

Peter invoked His name; the man was raised from his bed.

The man hoped for cash that day; he received far more,

It's always this way with the Lord; He gives blessings galore. (RP)

Our Wednesday schedule is washing clothes.  We are in the middle of this project right now. Margie normally folds the clothes and irons them. When she does not have strength to iron, I take over for her. The weather moderated some, and more rain is on the way. Thanks for praying.

MISSIONARY MEETING

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.1 Peter 3:8

Just get along is the cry today, so we strive to do His will,

Living in harmony with love, is something we desire to fulfill.

So make it a point to be compassionate, and do it with humility,

And please remember, dear friend, with Him this is a possibility.(RP)

Today we will attend a missions meeting and listen to a returned missionary give her testimony. This is mostly a meeting to hear requests and pray for missionaries. We always look forward to it. Yesterday's visit to the foot doctor went well and now Margie's foot is not in such pain. The weather has moderated a little and it is not as cold. We have a full schedule for today. Thanks for praying.
