Praise the Lord, all you nations!
Extol him, all you peoples!
For great is his steadfast love towards us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever.
Praise the Lord!
- Psalm 117
Dear Friends in Christ -
Psalm 117, a song of praise to God, is the one appointed for us to read today. It's the song God wants to put on our lips even as we scramble about doing everything from buying water and batteries to taking in the garden furniture.
God IS worthy of praise and He WILL see us through - no matter who we are, no matter where we are. God is noticing YOU on this day of storm preparation. "Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you" . . . that's more than just a pretty saying; it's God's everlasting promise to us.
Please continue to pray for all those in the storm's path as you hunker down in your homes with some good food and a few good books you can read by candlelight if necessary!
SERVICES AT ST. PAUL'S FOR TOMORROW (SUNDAY, 8/28) ARE CANCELLED DUE TO HURRICANE IRENE. If you or someone you know needs pastoral assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me at home (203-929-2929) or on my cell (203-246-8646).
All peace to you as you pray through yet another challenging weather ordeal!!
Faithfully yours,
Janet+
PS - In the midst of storm preparations, I find it very ironic that the name "Irene" means "peace"!!!
