Social Time With Like-Minded People
All of us get and remember different parts of our minister’s sermon. By visiting with people in church and attending Christian study groups, we can learn more about the sermon and many other aspects of worshipping and carrying out God’s plans for us. I like to attend church breakfasts, luncheons, and evening meals. I enjoy visiting with the people. I am watching online now because of COVID-19. I still learn much by listening to and applying the sermons to my week. All of us need to have a refresher course on what the Bible is trying to tell us about our daily lives and how we can apply it to the world that we live in today.
Supporting Worthwhile Missions
I like donating food, clothing, cleaning supplies, and money to missions my church supports. The people in the countries we help may be homeless and have no shelter for themselves and their families if missions do not help them. Some do not have running or safe water to drink, and with missions helping them, they can dig new wells and have decent water to drink. God wants us to help the less fortunate. One day, you may need to help yourself. Put yourself in the other person’s place and then say what would I want someone to do for me under these circumstances?
Helping Families In Your Community
By distributing food to needy people, they can have a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner that everyone deserves on these special days. Remember to give hats, mittens, coats, socks, and boots to less fortunate people so they can be nice and cozy in winter’s long, cold days. Churches have paid people’s first month’s rent to afford to pay the deposit required when they move in.
God Blesses Us Every Single Day Of Our Life
God has blessed me with relatively good health over the years. God blessed me with excellent, kind, caring, and loving parents. I am blessed to have good friends in my life. My pets have been a blessing in my life. I have gone to the same church and have deep ties to my church. Some of my classmates still attend our church. I have many friends in my church family that I visit with quite regularly.
God Is Your Compass And Your Lighthouse In Life
If you think you are heading off course in your life, ask God to be your compass and lighthouse that will guide you back home to him again. Sometimes, if we are driving in unfamiliar territory, we must look at our compass to ensure we are heading in the right direction. If we go in the wrong direction for too long, we will be lost, and it takes a long time to get back on the right road. God is like a lighthouse in the night; he shines his beacon of light to lead us back home where we are safe from the storms in life. Let God be your compass and lighthouse forever.
