WORD OF THE DAY - Monday 10 August 2009
















Nevertheless, I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. (Psalm 73:23)

Almighty God, Eternal and Glorious Father from whom comes all good things ~ Thank you for permitting us to enter your presence on this new day that is resplendent with blessings and challenges. You know us perfectly well, even to the point of knowing how we have often behaved stupidly and shamefully; even so, Father we are humbled and sincerely grateful that we can always count on your strong arm of help at all times. Please forgive us and strengthen us as we strive harder to be like Christ our Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

Sunday was another day of rejoicing due to the presence in our worship services of two teenage girls that were in attendance at our daily Children's Bible classes. We pray that Anna and Veronica will keep up their interest in the Lord and his word. The four university students from Nigeria are always a blessing with their excellent singing and the way they encourage everyone. It was also wonderful that Nikolai was back from a business trip, and able to be with us. We wanted all the students to have lunch with us at a cafeteria style place, but they had to be at a meeting at 2.00 and were concerned they would not have enough time to get there with all our fellowshipping. Later in the day, Viktor and Oxana with the boys came to our apartment and we had a delicious meal of some food left over from their Nikolaev rented apartment. Along with his other gifts, he is a good chef. At first they just wanted to feed the boys some soup that was left over since they checked out of the rented apartment Sunday morning. But it turned into a feast for all. They are now giving the boys a treat for a few days on the Black Sea that is only about an hour away. He hopes to catch some fish and the others want to play on the beach. We will see them again on Thursday as they pass back through Nikolaev on their way back to their home in Slavyansk.
