The box also contained a nice card for the boys. It is one of those kind that plays a tune when you open it up. The card asks a question on the front: "Know how often you're in my thoughts and prayers?" Then you open the card and it plays the song "Day by Day" sung by the group Godspell. The boys will be very happy to receive these things that we will present to them on Saturday. Now that September is upon us, we will resume our schedule of going to them on Saturdays. Thank you for the kind thoughts and prayers.
Yesterday, we went by the post office that is only about one block from our apartment and had notices that we had two packages. We received a box of Truth for Today lesson books that are always welcome as we continue to educate the church here in the Word. Also, there was a box of boys socks and underway! I had mentioned this need once in one of the daily messages, and my brother Tim Binkley read it and immediately wanted to do something. He and his wife Sherry sent a box that contained enough new socks and underwear that each boy in our group of 30 boys will have something new for this new season.Be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11b)
будьте единомысленны, мирны, --и Бог любви и мира будет с вами. (2-е Коринфянам 13:11б Russian)
будьте однодумні, майте мир, і Бог любови та миру буде з вами! (2 Коринтяни 13:11б Ukrainian)
Sintáis una misma cosa, tengáis paz; y el Dios de paz y de caridad será con vosotros. (2 Corintios 13:11b Reina-Valera Antigua)
Our Dear Father in Heaven ~ As we approach your great throne, we feel like we are so far removed from your perfect nature. However, we are deeply thankful that your great loving-kindness draws us near. Give us a greater measure of your wisdom as we learn more about your perfect objective for mankind so that we will take the steps necessary to make peace with all people by sharing your powerful message of love and peace through faith in Jesus Christ. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
