It has been almost nine months since Covid seemed to take over our lives. We have gone through
spring and summer and now are in the midst of fall. As we watch the beautiful
leaves change color, many are wondering how long it will take for change to
come in our present situation. No one really has the answer except God but
the good news is that he has provided for us through everything. I began to think of all the blessings that have
come out of this time and there are many. I posted an idea that I saw on
line: buy a large pumpkin and each day write something that you are thankful
for on the pumpkin. I’ll bet you will run out of space before Thanksgiving. We have been blessed to be able to have the
Sunday sermon on line for people to watch and listen to and we are very
blessed that we have been able to meet on Sunday mornings. There are other
Christians in the USA that are still being prohibited from meeting. (We need
to pray for them!). We have been able to continue Tuesday morning Bible study
thanks to Joyce’s willingness to lead and Lynne’s willingness to connect us
via Zoom and now we are resuming prayer on the first Wednesday of the month
via Zoom. Beyond all that the Lord has kept us solvent so
the doors can remain open and the bills can be met. He has provided a way for
all of us to stay healthy, (our children as well), in the middle of all of
this. Next month we celebrate Thanksgiving. As we move toward that
celebration let’s start counting our blessings right now because our God has
supplied all of our needs. Go get yourself a pumpkin and cover it with your
blessings. Don’t forget to tell your friends to tune in on line if they can’t
come and join us for worship. Blessings
in Christ, Pastor Ruth Blais |
