WORD OF THE DAY - Sunday 27 November 2011 from Mykolaiv, Ukraine

I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. (1 Corinthians 1:10 ESV) 

Умоляю вас, братия, именем Господа нашего Иисуса Христа, чтобы все вы говорили одно, и не было между вами разделений, но чтобы вы соединены были в одном духе и в одних мыслях. (1-е Коринфянам 1:10 Russian)

Я благаю вас, брати і сестри мої, іменем Господа нашого Ісуса Христа, щоб усі ви погоджувалися одне з одним, щоб не було розбрату між вами, і щоб були ви єдині в думках своїх і прагненнях. (1 Коринтяни 1:10 Ukrainian ERV)

Dear God, our Kind Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for this new Lord’s Day and the joyful privilege we have as believers to assemble with one another in order to worship in spirit and truth. Grant us wisdom so that we will sincerely love, honor and respect one another as those who also have rights to eat of the tree of life in the new eternal paradise that is being prepared by Christ our Lord. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We had a wonderful day with the boys at the Boys Home yesterday! They were prepared with their lesson book and ready to resume our studies of what it takes to be a person of good character. It was a cold day along the river and I joked with the boys that we noticed a bird walking on the water. (ice) They were very excited to see us and we enjoyed our two hours with them. Normally, we are allowed an hour and a little more, but Natasha (their teacher/leader) had questions to direct them in the right way. We used a lesson from the scriptures on gratitude since they had questions about Thanksgiving. Following the Bible lesson, we passed out some bandanas that we noticed on one of our last walks through Wal-mart looking for something light that we could stuff in our suit cases. They had lots of fun with those and will use them in the winter. We are having beautiful weather. It is still below freezing in the night and around freezing most of the day. But, the sun is shining and with only a gentle breeze, it makes things comfortable. Over the past few days, we've been trying to notify people that we are back in town and hope to meet with them soon. We are looking forward to our worship service today. Thanks for the fervent prayers of faith for this work and others around the world.
