Opportunity

We are told to make the most of every opportunity.  It definitely relates to the building of God’s kingdom and telling others the good news about Jesus.  But sometimes, it also means taking advantage of an opportunity for lunch together.

Self-care is important.  We must take care of our bodies, our minds, our emotions, and our relationships.  It is a part of loving God with all our hearts, soul, and mind–not to mention loving our neighbour as our self.

This was a coffee shop we discovered prior to attending the recent strategy meetings.  We were impressed with the creative name.

Praise and Prayer

• Praise the Lord for good interactions with pastors and international workers at the recent strategy meetings.  We came home with hearts full of valuable ideas and encouragement from being with God’s people.
• April 4 is the annual Clear and Bright Festival.  It is the time when families tend the graves of their ancestors.  For many this includes the traditional practices of burning incense, burning joss money, and praying for prosperity for the family.  Please pray for Christian believers who spend time with family but choose God-honoring ways to respect ancestors and bless their families.
• Wishing you all a blessed Holy Week as you remember Christ’s suffering and prepare to celebrate His resurrection.
