Suppose a brother or sister is destitute, without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; stay warm and eat well,” but does nothing about his bodily needs, what benefit is it?” (James 2:15-16)
Если брат или сестра наги и не имеют дневного пропитания, а кто-нибудь из вас скажет им: 'идите с миром, грейтесь и питайтесь', но не даст им потребного для тела: что пользы? (Иакова 2:15-16 Russian)
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for blessing us with enough food, shelter and clothing that we have some left over to share with our brothers and sisters and others in need. Give us discerning minds so that we will recognize situations where we can prove our faith by our deeds. We pray in Jesus name, Amen.
Last night was another rainy night in Ukraine. We have had three days in a row of cold rainy weather. Nevertheless, we had a great Bible study with the few who came out in spite of the weather. In Russian and Ukraine, influenza is colloquially referred to as грипп - gripp. It is pronounced as greep. Anyway, yesterday morning, I got gripped by the greep. It was a struggle to get through all our activities that included repairing my main pair of glasses and several walks around town looking for a place to buy a stamp to use with our books. Last night Galina prepared some boiled thighs and fed me some chicken broth. This morning I'm still foggy from something but feel much better than yesterday. We have so much to accomplish each day that we cannot afford to be sick. Well, I suppose that is true with everyone in the world. We are amazed at the way God gives us strength each day to almost finish what we have on our daily to-do list. Thank you for the prayers!
