Yes!!
Always great to hear from you joymercy and thank you for sharing. You are such a blessing to us on the forums. I enjoy reading all your posts. I wanted to reaffirm that you are never alone. You have your friends here remembering you in prayer. You have the Lord with you at all times. When we are feeling down, or alone, during our journey, it may seem that He is distant, we can rest upon the Lord and let Him do the carrying. He will never let you go.
I used to go to a church school when I was younger and our morning assemblies always had prayer and a Christian theme.Thankyou for those who faithfully serve!
That makes sense!I used to go to a church school when I was younger and our morning assemblies always had prayer and a Christian theme.
I remember the day when the deputy head, a devout Christian, took the assembly. He was talking about the passage in the gospels where Jesus watched the rich men throwing in large amounts of money into the temple treasury. He then mentioned the poor widow and said she only put in "a couple of measily coins" which got all of the children bursting into giggles. How pathetic of her, we all laughed.
But then the Deputy Head stood up and said something which plunged the hall into total silence. "The poor widow gave more than the others". He said that according to their means, the widow gave everything she had out of her own poverty.
And the lesson I have learned all these years, we cannot out-give God. All He desires from us is a generous heart. A heart that is generous with our money, our resources, and our time, but above all, generous with our love.
By the will of God Anthony, I am compelled to gladly agree!I used to go to a church school when I was younger and our morning assemblies always had prayer and a Christian theme.

That's a prayer I would like to second!God, may your increase fall down like dew to reward the readiness of heart and willing mind, Amen!
