A Sharing of the Load

The increasily anticipatory group met at Roberts Tabernacle last Sunday to pack those common items that we would be taking on the mission trip.

Present were not only the group but also a nice luncheon provided by the ladies of the congregation and a scale that weighed our luggage to insure we were not over the imposed limits on size/weight.

**UPDATE** Sister Cathleen broke her arm this past week but is, amazingly, still going on the trip!  Pray for her and her sister Bernice (since B will be C's 'right arm'--literally--next week).  What a great example (two of them) of Christian determination!

Paul reflects this sentiment when he wrote:  "And he (Jesus) said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:  for my strength is made perfect in weakness."  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:  for when I am weak, than am I strong." (2 Corinthians 12:9-11)

Amen!
