Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them,
Peace be with you.
John 20:19
Fear is an awful thing, that besets many people today,
The disciples experienced it, so long ago on that day.
When we are fearful and tired and worn, we are in need,
Thank God Jesus is our peace, and will help you indeed.
Come, let Jesus calm your fearful and heavy-laden heart,
And when He does this, you will never want to depart. (RP)
Yesterday was a blessing at church. To start out, Margie was not feeling well and was very weak. She was determined to try to make it to church. She did. Our church is still without an elevator so it made it doubly hard for her to climb the stairs. But she made it and Jason Nightingale recited (from memory - as he always does) several chapters from Matthew and then did the book of James. It was a powerful demonstration. We were glad to get back home where Margie could try to get some rest and have a leisurely afternoon. I worked on the attendance record sheet for our Friday Bible study. Margie takes the roll and I make it in large letters so she can read it easier. Thanks for praying.
