 Rainy days sometimes cause a change of scheduled plans.  Enjoy this day God has sent us.  Just think how happy all those newly planted seeds are with the rain.  They should be sticking their heads up in a couple of days.

Tuesday

God is love.

Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them….

There is no fear in love.

But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.

The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

~John 4: 16-18~

Monday

“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours,

and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain;

and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

And he prayed again,

and the heaven gave rain,

and the earth produced its fruit.”

~James 5:17-18~

Isn’t it wonderful to be able to pray and then wait to see how God chooses to answer?

Peggy Alford is home and learning more and more each day how to use that new knee.  Knowing Peggy, she’s making progress faster than most people.

Mrs. Nadine Council requests prayer for her sister-in-law.

Sandy Birch’s mother was admitted to North Oaks yesterday.  She was better in a few hours.  Pray for Mrs. Cooper and her family.

Connor Corkern is home again.  I know his family is thankful to all be in the same house again.

Jimmy Schwartz was at Sunday School and the 2nd worship service yesterday.  I didn’t see him, but am thankful he was able to celebrate Easter with his church family and his family.

90 Day Bible Reading – Last Day!

Revelation 18:1 – Revelation 22:21

When you complete today’s passages, please let me know.  I’m curious to know who has been reading along with me.

I will once again say this has been my favorite way to read the Bible.  Let me know if you didn’t read this time, but would like to read in the future, either now or some time later.

Be a blessing to someone today!
