*Pastor’s Note: I want to finish off this month with some poetry from a dear Sister who has gone on to be with the Lord, Lora Cox. While she was with us, she was gracious to allow me to use as much of her poetry I wanted to the Glory of the Lord. I saved a bit of them and have used them from time to time. Of course, her website is no longer up, but her creativity and love for the Lord lives on.

Sister Lora was a beautiful example of God’s love towards others and she will be missed. As always, Glory to God for all of the creative gifts He gives so bountifully and for those who use those gifts. God Bless!

Inspired by Philippians 4:4-7

Rejoice in the Lord always,
Do not worry about tomorrow.
Go to God in humble prayer
And give Him all your sorrows.

Rejoice and let your needs be known
For God is faithful, just and kind,
And His peace that surpasses understanding
Will guard your heart and mind.

Rejoice in your laughter,
Rejoice in your tears,
For in your rejoicing
Comes strength for your fears.

Rejoice in the Lord always,
His loving kindness we can’t measure.
Rejoice and be thankful for His love
You’ll have no greater treasure.
