“Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened,

that it cannot save;

nor His ear heavy,

that it cannot hear.”

~Isaiah 59:1, NKJV~

Thank-you!

I hear a number of reports of how God answers prayer.  I want to pass a big “Thank-you!” on to those who read and pray.  You bless so many people.  Keep on praying, please.

Nathan Daniels 

Nathan’s back surgery is healing.  He will have surgery on the other side of his back in a couple of weeks.  Pray for him as he deals with pain and soreness from surgery.

Betty Taylor

Betty continues to have knee problems despite her recent surgery.  Pray for her as she sees a doctor again on Wednesday.

Frozen Food for Families 

The frozen food was delivered yesterday and was greatly appreciated.  Thank-you to those who prepared and shared the food.

Vacation Bible Schools

VBS will be held this week in Roseland and the following week at New Zion.  It is so good to hear of many making professions of faith following VBS and/or summer camps.  I have been blessed to see photographs of many baptisms in the last few weeks.  God is blessing many area churches with these additions.

Two Rivers Quarterly WMU Meeting

      1. Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,
        Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
        Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
        Jesus, I come to Thee;
        Out of my sickness, into Thy health,
        Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
        Out of my sin and into Thyself,
        Jesus, I come to Thee.
      2. Out of my shameful failure and loss,
        Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
        Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
        Jesus, I come to Thee;
        Out of earth’s sorrows, into Thy balm,
        Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
        Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
        Jesus, I come to Thee.
      3. Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
        Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
        Into Thy blessed will to abide,
        Jesus, I come to Thee;
        Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
        Out of despair, into raptures above,
        Upward for aye on wings like a dove,
        Jesus, I come to Thee.
      4. Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
        Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
        Into the joy and light of Thy home,
        Jesus, I come to Thee;
        Out of the depths of ruin untold,
        Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
        Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
        Jesus, I come to Thee.

What ways will God give you opportunities to bless others today?  Let’s be eager to see how God will use us.  Don’t miss the opportunities!  You might not get a second chance to make a difference in some lives.
