Praise the Lord for His goodness towards us.  1st Corinthians 13:11 “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” As I was meditating about this verse this morning I asked myself, have we as adults put away our childish things.  Do we as adults act like adults?  When we talk with a child who’s having problems at school we tell them to tell their parents and let their teacher know.  We give them some personal direction but we do not position our self to take on their problem.  When we talk with an adult who is having a problem we are no longer talking with a child and adults are to receive advice and then act like adults.  An adult should know their boundaries and they hopefully have learned ways to handle problems and protect themselves.   Acting right is a learned process but the problem is we are often handed a problem before we know how to handle the problem.   We thus need to grow up while we process through the problem on our way to becoming mature.  A sign of maturity is the putting away of childishness.  The Lord has us all on a journey to our promises and in the process we shall become mature.  It’s not that we have reached perfection but we are hopefully less wrong than we used to be.
On Saturday, that’s tomorrow morning @9 there is a Men’s Breakfast @ Bethel Family Church in Glace Bay.  Sunday morning is ourSpecial Family Sunday.  Everyone invites a friend and @10:15 we share breakfast together.  The morning service follows and I’ll be sharing on ‘He’s Alive.’  The message places us between the resurrection and His ascension.  Jesus is back walking among His disciples and is there a difference in the ministry of Jesus?  Also on Family Sunday we serve Communion and there is a special Building Fund offering.  On Family Sunday there is no evening service.
Continue to pray for those in need, looking forward to seeing you, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice
