For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes." (Luke 12:22- 23, NIV ). This scripture is a firm reminder that God watch- es over us and provides for our needs. So why do we worry? Only God knows the answer, for in each person's case, the reason may be dif- ferent. In the verses after this, Jesus explains with ma- ny examples of how God pro- vides for animals and plants of the earth, and how we are even more special than them. Let God take care of you and leave the worrying to the devil. God bless you and keep you. We welcome you to all services. Come and wor- ship Jesus with us.

If you have an unsaved son, speak this blessing over him, "God make my son as Ephraim and Manasseh. Multiply them and make them great in your sight." If you have an unsaved daughter, Ruth 4:11, "make my daughter like Rachael and Leah, which two did build the house of Israel, be them worthy and famous in God's eyes." The Jew still speaks a blessing over his children. Let's follow their lead and speak what could be over ours. Ron Vickers, Pastor Elaine Young, Reporter, 1- 812-749 -1122 (leave a mes- sage).

He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, and all your joys into the gold." I heeded His words, and in the two boxes both my joys and sorrows I stored, but though the gold became heavier each day, the black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black. I wanted to find out why, and I saw, in the base of the box, a hole which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God and mused, "I wonder where my sorrows could be? " He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My child, they're here with me." I asked God why He gave me the boxes, why the gold and the black with the hole? "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings. The black is for you to let go." We invite all of you to come and worship with us.
