Hope is the anticipation of positive outcomes in our lives. Hope provides us with the motivation to rise each morning and undertake tasks that may be challenging, in order to fulfill our aspirations. We have children and wish for their development in body, mind, and spirit into knowledgeable and capable individuals who will contribute positively to society. We work for years with the hope of retiring to enjoy many healthy and leisurely years.
Millions of Americans will gather in thousands of locations across our nation on Thursday, May 1 to pray for national, state, and local leaders and our nation in general as the 74th annual National Day of Prayer (NDP) takes place.
The Horton Senior Citizens hosted friends from Vintage Park in Hiawatha on Monday, April 14. Refreshments were served and visitors and members enjoyed talking about old memories and shared good times.
The problem with forgiveness is that it puts Satan’s empire out of business. That’s why, since Calvary, Satan and his corporate goons have been feverishly rebranding violence, revenge, addictions, murder, adultery and idolatry, sometimes in packaging that, from sufficient distance and distraction, looks Christian. They’ve even tried to strip “love” of its true meaning, selling us the lie that love is no more than a feeling, or an activity. When we buy into his rebranding campaign, Satan knows we won’t stop to listen to God’s still, small voice. We’ll be too busy, suspending both common sense and compassion, which leads to a gradual descent into savagery and isolation. He’s done it before, and once again, the rebranding seems to be working like a charm.
The Horton Senior Citizens Center has had a busy week, and are celebrating the warmer weather but not all the wind!
At First Christian Church one year, we used a string of Prayer Beads to help us meditate upon the events of Holy Week. Each day we had a Scripture passage and a colored bead that we could hold to make the time of meditation more tangible. Unfortunately, I can’t send the prayer beads through the newspaper with this article. But I share with you the Scripture and the color of the bead for each day in case you want to make your own prayer bead string. I hope you will at least meditate on the Scripture each day through Holy Week.
