Gen. 36-38; Mt. 10:21-42
It's sure been an intense week. Coping with my wife's battle, the Raher's grief, and the regular ministry of the church has been difficult - but God give's grace to help in time of need - Heb. 4:16. This morning, I and the church staff met with Pastor's Mike and Phillip Macintosh and Mickey Stonier from Horizon Christian Fellowship to assist us in helping each other cope with the death of Nathan Raher and it's impact on all of us. There were a lot of tears and honest sharing and counsel from the Word.
Richard and Robbie visited Joyce while I was at the meeting and they had a tender time of fellowship. Joyce so wanted to be able to help but couldn't go to them...so they came to her.
Joyce had a better day today. Thank you Lord!
Sorry about not keeping up with comments on our daily reading - I'll try at least a couple of times a week.
In His Arm's, Pat

Sorry? Are you kidding? I am praying unceasingly for you and Joyce. We can do all things through Christ, our Lord, who strengthens us. You, Joyce and the pastoral staff are so loved by God, our heavenly Father and His Son, our Saviour. I pray that you all be filled with His Holy Spirit and that the Spirits strenght fill you all to overflowing and sustain you all through these trials. And that Jesus, who suffered for all of us, take Joyce's pain away completely and that He heal her and that she shouts to the world of His wonderous works and love and that Glory be given to the Lord.
