Grace-Filled Waiting

December 27, 2011

Roger lost his job due to the company being downsized. For months he searched, applied for jobs, prayed, asked others to pray, and trusted God. Roger and his wife Jerrie’s emotions fluctuated though. They saw God provide for them in unexpected ways and experienced His grace, but sometimes they worried that a job would never come. For 15 long months, they waited.

Then Roger had three interviews with a company, and a week later the employment agency called and said, “Have you heard the saying, ‘Sometimes clouds have a silver lining’? Well, you’ve got the job!” Jerrie told me later, “We wouldn’t trade this hard experience for anything. It brought us closer together and closer to the Lord.” Friends who had prayed rejoiced and gave thanks to God.

Paul wanted the Corinthian church to see the grace of God at work in his life, which could cause “thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God” (2 Cor. 4:15). His trials were so severe that he was “hard pressed on every side,” “perplexed,” “persecuted,” and “struck down” (vv.8-9). Yet he encouraged the people not to lose heart in troubles (v.16) but to trust God. During our difficulties, we can be drawn nearer to God and others, as Roger and Jerrie experienced, and praise will go to the Lord for His grace.

Thank the Lord when trouble comes,
His love and grace expressing;
Grateful praise releases faith,
Turns trials into blessing. —Egner

There’s no better time to praise God than right now.

Read: 2 Corinthians 4:7-18

We do not lose heart. —2 Corinthians 4:16
Bible in a year:
Zechariah 1-4; Revelation 18

Good Evening, Ladies!

It’s gotten warmer here tonight, nice and toasty. Settling down to Chinese and a few DVD’s.

How is everyone tonight?

The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is no longer in Old Town (the stinkin’ hippies hated it) and is on Eubank Blvd. north of Central Ave (Old Rt.66 of song and legend). The guides are mostly retired Sandia Labs personnel who are old nuke guys.

Anyone who needs info about Albuquerque, feel free to FReepmail me.

I can’t get you into the KUMSC (although it is very cool), I’d be glad to tell you about some of the cool stuff (unclassified) going on out at KAFB and Sandia.

WELCOME TO THE

FR CANTEEN
(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Oh yeah, some place warmer today.

Our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Showers early with a steady rain developing for the afternoon.
The rain will be heavy at times.
Thunder possible. High 52F.
Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
Rainfall possibly over one inch.

~ Tonight... Partly cloudy. Low 38F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph.

Good thing I have chores to do inside.
Looks like our FRiends in the New England states
need to brace for another hit.

We'll just get rain and winds in our area.

Geez, the weekend went fast.
Hope everyone had a wonderful and special Christmas.

The Beachy house did.
We got to see all of the children and grandchildren...
... at the same time. LOL

Well, hubby is back to work this morning
and I have some winter chores to do.
I guess I'll need to get on those early
in case we lose power when the storm hits.

I need to get to my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.
