September Birthdays 1 Gino Lombardo 6 Philip Ross (US Army-Iraq) If you would like your birthday posted, please give Judy your month and date (the is year not necessary!) THE LOVE OF CHRIST Who shall separate us from THE LOVE OF CHRIST? Shall TRIBULATION (that horrible time we lose someone we dearly love to death!), or DISTRESS (those thousand momentary problems which all compound into one day!), or PERSECUTION (When we are overlooked for a promotion at work because we’re “too religious”!), or FAMINE, (When all the bills are paid, and there’s nothing left over!), or NAKEDNESS (When the one that promised to live life with us decides life is better without us!) or PERIL, (When we only have five minutes to get somewhere, and the car is dead – never to be resurrected again!), or SWORD (/When that agonizing killer called death stops and knocks on our door!). Can these separate us from THE LOVE OF CHRIST? NO! Read ROMANS 8:38,39.______Cris Whitney DWELL ON THE GLADNESS Life is too short to dwell on my sorrow, To harbour my grudges in bitter tomorrows. Life is too short to dwell on my pain, To play and re-play some vengeful refrain. Life is too sweet to waste precious minutes, In nursing resentment, self-righteousness in it. Then, let me not dwell on life’s sorrow and sadness. O Lord, let me think of life’s blessings, with gladness! ____Nancy Neff Dostie Pray this week for the following people: The Lord is fair in everything He does, and full of kindness. He is close to all who call on Him sincerely. He fulfills the desires of those who reverence and trust Him; He hears their cries for help and rescues them.
