Hello Faith Pals,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I have included a video from Priya, which has a lovely message-plus, with all the photos of flowers-well-it is almost as if you were receiving a bunch of flowers!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sorting through some old papers, my husband put out a pile of papers.\u00a0 I found this little puzzle on one of those pieces of (now) scrap paper.\u00a0 For those who might enjoy a word puzzle:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE EYES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THEY SEE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE MORSE CODE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

HERE COME DOTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SLOT MACHINES:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CASH LOST IN ME<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ELECTION RESULTS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

LIES- LETS RECOUNT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SNOOZE ALARMS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ALAS! NO MORE Z’S<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A DECIMAL POINT:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

IM A DOT IN PLACE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ELEVEN PLUS TWO:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you rearrange the letters:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TWELVE PLUS ONE.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I came across this Sri Lankan prayer when I tidied up some of my papers.\u00a0 Do our Sri Lankan families know it?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Even as the water falls on dry tea leaves and brings out their flavour,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

so may your Spirit fall on us and renew us,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

so that we may bring refreshment and joy to others.’<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps that can be a prayer said when we make a cup of tea?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life.’-Rachel Carson.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And this one, which will help us all sleep soundly at night!:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘For peace of mind, we need to resign as general manager of the universe.’-Larry Eisenberg<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We would probably say CEO these days.\u00a0 I’ve met some wonderful CEOs in my time-but with human flaws and failings.\u00a0 God is much more than a CEO!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘The Lord is merciful and gracious,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.'(Psalm 103:8)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

” I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.\u00a0 Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you. When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart, I will let you find me,” says the Lord…'(Jeremiah 29: 11-13)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I think that is enough this Friday!\u00a0 You have a puzzle, (I have a bigger one for Monday! plus a beautiful music video from Bruce), some quotes, and a service and sermon.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Blessings and love<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Barbara Allen<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
