And the angel said to them, “Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For today in the city of David, a Savior is born to you, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11)
И сказал им Ангел: не бойтесь; я возвещаю вам великую радость, которая будет всем людям: ибо ныне родился вам в городе Давидовом Спаситель, Который есть Христос Господь. (От Луки 2:10-11 Russian)
Dear LORD, our Holy, Righteous and Gracious Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for this new Lord’s Day that dawns with more opportunities for Christians around the world to celebrate our faith in sweet communion. Give us wisdom as we ponder the spectacular events that surrounded the first coming of Jesus Christ into this world dominated by evil thoughts and deeds. Help us to focus our efforts in toward educating more of the earth’s population about the supreme love, joy and hope that is for all people who will obey Christ as Master. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
I almost announced the end of our snowfall, but then the sky looks formidable again this morning as if we may have some more from God's storehouse of snow. Yesterday, we had to venture out to the big Metro store and do some much needed shopping. As we crossed the Bug (pronounced Boog) River, we noticed that ice covers most of the river. When we finished shopping, our habit is to order a taxi to take us home since we have these large bags. The nice young man who took us home almost didn't make it due to the heavy accumulation of white stuff and he almost didn't get out of the courtyard area where we live. He said that he heard that some people who live in the nearby city of Kherson had died in their cars when they were stranded overnight out on the highway between the two cities. We hear in the news of similar events in America as a great storm covers the East with snow. We hope that our folks will be able to make it to our worship today here in Nikolaev. Some have wondered who is taking all those pictures. Yesterday, I wrested the camera away from the photographer and snapped Galina's picture as she was watching our taxi try to leave our area. She is also our translator/interpreter for many projects that we are involved with here in this great country of Ukraine. Thank you for the prayers.
