Weather Encouragement and This Weekend's Activities

We hope your week is going well! I know the rainy weather isn’t as cheery as the sunshine, but it too is part of God’s grace for our lives. Read what the Psalmist says:

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving;
make music to our God on the harp.

PS 147:8 He covers the sky with clouds;
he supplies the earth with rain
and makes grass grow on the hills.

PS 147:9 He provides food for the cattle
and for the young ravens when they call.

PS 147:10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of a man;

PS 147:11 the LORD delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.
--Psalm 147: 7-11

While we may think that he supplies this part of Germany with a little more clouds and rain than others, we can and should be thankful for it. It is part of His goodness to us. Sometimes it is more a matter of perspective and looking for God’s goodness in things. I imagine a few of our family and friends downrange would love to have this weather. They would consider it a blessing from God!

We hope to see you this weekend. For Friday night’s Dinner and Study we will enjoy Pizza (and salad if you want to bring some). Please cook your pizza’s at home and then bring them unless you call and talk to Aimee ahead of time. However, she will be baking her pizzas in the oven here so there probably won’t be much extra room! Our study is going to be on John 5:16-30 if you would like to read ahead.

On Saturday we will have a BBQ and games at 5:00pm. The grill will be going around 6:00—please bring your own meat and a side dish to share with everyone. We plan to play outdoor games if it is not rainy but will move inside if that is the case. We hope to see you here.
