Living for the Lord means an endless supply of blessings may come at the most unexpected time. Be ready to accept the blessings and give HIM praise for them!
I had the opportunity to spend times with my great-nieces and "out of the mouths of babes" left me feeling blessed as they grow in the Lord. October 21st will be Children's Sabbath. A good time to bring a child and introduce them to God's favor. It is far easier to lead them to God when they are young. The blessings that come from that are a benefit for everyone.
On my journey home, the wind blew the doors shut while at a gas station. Doors automatically locked with the keys in the ignition. We had no one at home to bring a spare key or a cell phone to call for help. So we prayed by the car. A young man overheard our prayer and he WAS the answer to our prayer. Recently, he himself was in the same dilemma and bought a lock-out kit. God sent him there not for gas but to be of assistance. We both left there feeling blessed; one for being a blessing and two for receiving a blessing. We didn't need a cell phone; just a little talk with Jesus made it right!
There are many opportunities to serve God by helping others. Be ready; you never know when you can let your light shine! October 21st at 2 p.m., Hopkins will be hosting Parkdale worship services.
October 24th, Grant City Ministries will be at 6 p.m.; board meeting will be at 7. October 31st, Ravenwood neighbor outreach. Grant City UMC will be busy preparing for the Lord's Acre Sale for November 3rd. Sheridan will host their annual Election Bean Dinner and Bazaar November 6th. Mark your calendar for these events. May God bless those who work for the Lord and support them in prayer. Are you ready to be a blessing or receive a blessing? Doing God's work is filled with challenges and opportunities to grow in His likeness. HIS blessings seem to fill our lives with hope. Let's help our neighbors and plant God's seeds of kindness. See you in church!
