DEATH OF A FRIEND

Leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.  - Matthew 5:24

Sometimes among believers tensions appear; God want us to settle them now,
He tells us in language so very plain, what exactly to do and explains how.
God's way is the best and always will be; so brethren, do not let problems arise,
Go to one you have wronged, and make things right looking straight into his eyes.
Then bring your gift and present it to God; your heart will be right and be at peace,
Just keep on doing things God way and your joy and contentment will increase. (RP)

Yesterday Jesse Eaton from ABWE called asking if I knew how to get in contact with Paul Schlener. Jessie, Paul's wife, died. We were shocked. I called a pastor in Seattle who gave me the cell phone number of the pastor of the church where Paul Schlener is a member. Following that I did a lot of Facebook searches and wrote notes to Paul's children, who were children when Margie & I lived on their mission station in Brazil on the Amazon River. Yesterday we also attended the 50th anniversary of Roger and Ilene Engler at our church.  Our son Rawlie and wife Gina were there also. It was an event-filled day for sure. Thanks for praying.
