I asked the ladies to dress in summer clothes and if
they wished to, to share a memory of summer, be it this year or any other. They
all arrived looking very summery, and we passed around some hula skirts and
flower garlands. Some people shared with us their favourite memory of summer, for one lady it was the W.A.G weekend at Swanwick Haze, another lady brought along holiday pictures of beautiful sunsets. Another lady said someone had given her a runner bean plant and there had been enough each day, showing her that God is her provider. One lady had written a poem.
Autumn is my favourite time of year,
Kicking leaves of red and gold,
Telling stories of knights so bold,
Yes, autumn is my favourite time of year.
No,
Winter is my favourite time of year,
The wondrous sight of snow,
The lovely firelights glow,
Yes, winter is my favourite time of year.
No,
Spring is my favourite time of year,
New life we see all around,
And hear the cheery bird sounds,
Yes, spring is my favourite time of year.
No,
Summer is my favourite time of year,
Paddling pools, and children’s cries,
Lying under starry skies,
YES, summer is my favourite time of year.
She shared with us that she would miss lying under the night sky and
seeing the vast number of stars and meditating on the majesty, might and power
of God, and of His grace toward us.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament shows His handiwork.
I asked the ladies if they could recall a time in the Bible when it was
total darkness, and we spoke about how Christ was crucified at Calvary for the
sins of man, how for three hours there was total darkness as the light of the
world, Jesus, was dying, for you and for me.
Luke 23:44-46 Now it was about the sixth
hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the
sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And when Jesus
had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I
commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last.
There have been some dark times in
the history of man but this day was the darkest, spiritually, morally and
physically but Jesus was triumphant over it all. So the darkest day turns into the
best day for all who will repent and believe on Jesus. And we have every reason to rejoice.
we sang, Wonder of it All, (George Beverly Shea)
There's the wonder of sunset at evening,
The wonder as sunrise I see;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is the wonder that God loves me.
Refrain
O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.
O, the wonder of it all! The wonder of it all!
Just to think that God loves me.
Verse 2
There's the wonder of springtime and harvest,
The sky, the stars, the sun;
But the wonder of wonders that thrills my soul
Is a wonder that has only begun.
And then we had a sing and dance!
