THINK LOVE!

THINK PINK! THESE WORDS ARE WHAT WE HEAR AND SEE EVERYWHERE THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. They are to re-mind us that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. We are reminded of the importance of early detection of breast cancer and how many lives can saved with early detec-tion. AS A TWO TIME SURVIVOR OF BREAST CANCER, TWO DIFFERENT KINDS, BOTH DEADLY, BOTH INVASIVE, BOTH AGGRESSIVE, BOTH LIFE THREATENING, I TAKE VERY SERI-OUSLY BREAST CANCER AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DETECTION! I take what life gives me and try to make the most of it. Grumbling and whining do not help, but focusing on God does help. Counting all of my blessings helps. I am reminded in the book of James, “not my will, but the Lord’s be done.” . . . .And I am reminded of Jesus’ prayer in the Gar-den of Gethsemane, “not my will, but thine be done.” I do not question God, but I accept my adventures with respect and determination. I keep my sense of humor and look for the smiles of God. I welcome my journey because I know that God is with me. MY CANCERS HAVE TAUGHT ME PATIENCE AND THE AWESOME POWER OF GOD! AND I SAY “MY CAN-CERS” BECAUSE I OWN THEM, THEY DO NOT OWN ME! . . . .AND I SAY TO YOU, WHATEVER COMES YOUR WAY, THINK LOVE! GOD LOVES YOU AND IS WITH YOU ALWAYS. THERE IS NOT ANYTHING IN THE WORLD THAT YOU MAY ENCOUN-TER THAT GOD IS NOT WITH YOU! When in my darkest hours, I turn to God and he sustains me. God gives me strength and hope and I turn all my worries over to him. I WALK WITH GOD. I WALK WITH JESUS. I WALK WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. I THINK LOVE. Though I walk through the val-ley of the shadow of death, the Lord is with me. He com-forts me. I am not alone. God takes care of the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, and how much more so will he take care of me. GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR EACH OF US. GOD LOVES EACH OF US. THINK PINK! THINK LOVE! And I ask you, just how wonderful is that! Thank you, Jesus, for loving me. Thank you, God, for loving me. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for loving me and for being with me always. Amen.

Ministry Does the Body Good

[In Acts] we have seen the diverse backgrounds which formed the

first generation of Christians. It is amazing to see how they began,

grew, and flourished. All of us are brought together from different

backgrounds, different ages, different life situations, and unified

through baptism by one Spirit into one body. (I Cor. 12:13) I always

appreciate seeing people from so many walks of life and differ-

ences come together to worship our Father...In society today

many things we do are so segregated by age, gender, race, etc. But

here in worship, it is great to see the body of Christ striving to

work in harmony.

We are all called to use our varied talents, abilities, and lives in the

service of our Lord as Paul tells us we are each a part of the body.

(I Cor. 12: 27) No one should be looked upon as insignificant or less

honorable as they contribute their part to the body, but all should

be held in high honor. Paul follows chapter 12 of I Corinthians

[with the chapter which] outlines the true definition of love. I hope

and pray that it is love that is your motive behind your service in

the body of Christ. In the times that are difficult and challenging to

serve, love can serve as our “fuel” for service– being able to serve

out of our love for God and our love for our fellow man.

...I pray you will get involved in ...ministry opportunities in the fu-

ture and look for new opportunities that you (and we together)

can serve our community. I hope you count it a blessing to be in

ministry to our community and to one another as well. I also pray

you do your part to build up the body of Christ that meets

here...After all, ministry does the (church) body good!
