God Bless our Troops!
Bible in a Year:
Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain.
Helen Roseveare, an English missionary physician in the African Congo, was taken prisoner by rebels during the Simba Rebellion in 1964. Beaten and abused by her captors, she suffered terribly. In the days that followed, she found herself asking, “Is it worth it?”
As she began to ponder the cost of following Jesus, she sensed God speaking to her about it. Years later she explained to an interviewer, “When the awful moments came during the rebellion and the price seemed too high to pay, the Lord seemed to say to me, ‘Change the question. It’s not, ‘Is it worth it?’ It’s ‘Am I worthy?’ ” She concluded that in spite of the pain she had endured, “Always the answer is ‘Yes, He is worthy.’ ”
Through God’s grace at work within her during her harrowing ordeal, Helen Roseveare decided that the Savior who had suffered even death for her was worthy to be followed no matter what she faced. Her words “He is worthy” echo the cries of those surrounding Jesus’ throne in the book of Revelation: “In a loud voice they were saying: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’ ” (5:12).
Our Savior suffered and bled and died for us, giving Himself entirely, so that we may freely receive eternal life and hope. His all deserves our all. He is worthy!
Reflect & Pray
How does Jesus’ death and resurrection prove He’s greater than any circumstance you face? In what ways will you tell Him He’s worthy today?
You are always worthy to be worshiped, Jesus! Please help me to live today in Your presence with a grateful heart.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
And to you and yours, a Blessed Lord’s Day.
Hope you had a restful day. We are finally getting a little rain...might make it to a 1/2”, but we will take it.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Wow...that was a wonderful speech by president Reagan. It’s hard to believe that was 35 years ago. (((I LOVED the Reagan Years!)))
Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.
A blessed Trinity Sunday (Western)/Sunday of the Samaritan Womabn (Orthodox) to all!
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...has the rain stopped?
We are finally getting a little...trying for a 1/2 inch. Better than nothing, and “hard” enough to wash off the leaves.
We got 2/10ths of an inch last night and I was ecstatic. LOL! It doesn’t take much to make me happy since we need every drop....as it sounds like you do, too!
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU

Howdy, Kathy.

And a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.
How is Penny managing with all your rain? Rain is NOT her favorite weather....wet feet and all.
Good evening, lightman, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
And a blessed Trinity Sunday (Western)/Sunday of the Samaritan Womabn (Orthodox).
Did your group get all the flags done at the cemetery for Memorial Day? Quite the task to honor our heroes!
Hey there, radu!
Hope you had a grand time at the museum today...and yesterday. Was it busy?
