"I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt..."

I was so impressed with these beautiful gestures of a loving Lord. How gentle, how loving, how kind, how thoughtful. The scripture tells us that He is the same today.

We have heard so many stories these past months. They were all very heart-rending in different ways. In freezing weather one family had no heat, so we provided them with an electric heater that we had available.

We got a phone call twice that the ambulance had been across the street. Two of our church family had been taken to the hospital on two separate occasions. First the wife and then the husband. In-between this they both had eye surgery. Much prayer ascended to the throne of God for them. They are planning on being in church this Sunday.

A friend in the nursing facility where we have a program every Saturday night was very upset due to the fact that she was scheduled to go home and was afraid to be alone.

Another friend has been sick and not out of the house for twelve weeks.

I share this information to urge you, our faithful readers, to add them to your prayer list.

We ask the Lord to take them by the hand and lead them through and out of these difficult situations.

THANK YOU for your prayers.
