Good evening, fellow redeemed!
Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot. Ecclesiastes 5:18.
Work is usually a mixed blessing. Sometimes the job is a joy and delight. Sometimes it isn't. But, as "the Preacher" who is king in Jerusalem tells us, work, toil, is a gift of God. If you don't believe it, ask someone who is unemployed.
I sometimes wonder if we don't pray enough for those who have fallen on hard times - those who are unemployed, those whose employment barely makes ends meet, if at all.
"Give us this day our daily bread..." Lord, give us those things which support this body and life. Lord, help us care for those who are in need of daily bread, who are in need of the blessing of work.
Prayer Concerns:
Jackie Steele, Sue Catherman, Lucinda Rodela
Pat Walker and her family at the death of her dad
Those who serve in our armed forces and their families: Rob Vadney
The homebound: Ruby Rieder, Ann Cleveland, Burt and Doris Nelson, Ellie Reiners, Walter and Pearly Theiss
I will be out of the office until Thursday morning. If you have emergency, please contact your elder.
God bless!
