extends our deepest sympathy to Sis. Mandy and family on the passing of our
beloved, Bro. Woodie. Bro. Woodie had his home going on Tuesday, November 6.
Our loss is truly Heaven’s gain. He is personally experiencing what he sang
about and preached for over half a century. We’ll miss you, Bro. Woodie, and as
you loved to say, “You can have a good time and go to Heaven, too”
and so you have….
Children In Action Update. The food drive for Jessie’s place was a great success with approx. 250 pounds of breakfast foods collected. A big “Thank You” from the CIA agents……..
CIA November Theme: Medics on Mission
This month Children In Action will learn about many Baptist Nursing Fellowship (BNF) members, including Melody Lane, a nurse in Cambodia. Melody and her husband host medical teams that share God’s love in villages where people do not have adequate access to medical treatment.
Harvest Home
(Our Daily Bread)
“You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand”
James 5:8
The hymn “Come, Ye Thankful People Come” is often sung at Christian services of thanksgiving. Written in 1844 by Henry Alford, it begins with thanks to God for crops safely gathered in before winter. But it is more than gratefulness for the bounty of the land. The hymn ends by focusing on God’s “harvest” of his people when Christ returns:
Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home:
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come---
Raise the glorious harvent-home.
As we give thanks for material needs supplied, it’s essential to remember that our plans are uncertain and our lives are a vapor that quickly disappear (James 4:14). James encourages us to be like a farmer waiting for his crops to grow and mature. “You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand “ (5:8).
As we thank God for His faithful provision for our needs, let’s turn our thoughts to the promised return of Jesus Christ. In patient expectation, we live for Him and look for the day when He will come to gather His glorious harvest home……….David C. McCasland
Work and pray! Continue faith
When the Savior calleth, “Come,”
Till at last we all are garnered
To that heavenly harvest-home – Stinson
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
Revelation 22:20
