BARBARA would like to express her thanks to those who prayed for her and to let you know that she has settled in very well. We heard from David this week that Barbara has also decided that she wants to stay in rather than come home again, and the family has just had confirmation from Overdale that this will be O.K. Barbara has been able to take part in Christian services taken by a local church within the home, has made some new friends and joined in the various activities on offer. Although she’s still not well, the improvement is amazing! Praise God! Her room is No. 21 on the 2nd floor.

From Murray
It seems that there is a lot of painful news around at the moment. You may be feeling upset, wondering why God is allowing things to happen or even wondering if He is there at all right now. The bible warns us that there will be much which is difficult and painful as we seek to serve God. It is also important for us to be honest with our feelings and express them as much as we can to God. So, if we are overwhelmed by the unfairness of life, we should pour that out to Him. In the meantime it is best to hold on to what we know has helped us over the years. There will be times for all of us when the sense of God’s presence will be hidden from us, and God has much for us to learn, even in the bleakest of situations. Faith is about trusting and depending on God when we don’t know things for certain and we don’t have all the answers. I pray that all our faith will grow and that God’s love and mercy will be seen in the lives of those we pray for.
Also… from my sermon at 10 am last Sunday. Keep on seeking out those stirrings in your heart to serve God so that we may all discover and use the gifts God is giving to us. And let me know what you feel called to do!
