“So, we do not lose heart. Though our outer man is wasting away, our inner man is being renewed every day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, because we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4.16
As I think about the recent dangers we as a church community have faced, I remember what a blessing we share as sisters and brothers of faith in our Lord. Insurance will cover our infrastructure losses. God and his Son were protecting us (and Angie and son) from harm. Our church building will come thru this even stronger than before. Our faith is reaffirmed by the blessings we received because no one was hurt. Our wonderful friends at Avondale Methodist Church stepped right up and made us welcome to their facilities and hearts. Lets celebrate our good fortunes.
Jesus has once again shown his Love to us.
