Dear Friends

I hope that you are all enjoying this lovely sunshine and are having a good Summer. We have been busy with school holidays, birthdays, weddings and other lovely things, hence this letter is later than usual.

The Healing Centre continues to be busy on Thursday evenings, for which we praise God and the services are great as always. Recent comments include, ‘The worship time was really rich and there seemed to be a peace which broke through and flowed out into the room’, ‘...The talk was brill; really encouraging and rich.’ ‘Awesome night. God is good all the time. I thoroughly enjoyed the ministry time and it was good to see so many new faces’. Thanks for your prayers which undergird all that we do.

I was having a chat with someone yesterday about the power of words, how God wants us to speak out positive things about situations, about others and about ourselves. He wants us to know that we are precious to Him and a treasure and that He takes great delight in us. He wants our words to reflect His. The bible says, ‘For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart’ (Hebrew 4:12). It is always important to ask God for a scripture/scriptures about situations in life, and to pray in that vein as this helps us to see things the way God does.

I had the privilege last week of working with a friend and her children on making a small banner for their home. The theme of their banner was Shivas Haminin, which are Hebrew words referring to the seven fruits and grains of ancient Israel, (Deut 8:8; ‘For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land where you will eat food without scarcity in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper……’). It perhaps serves as a reminder that God provided for their needs all those years ago and still is their provider. My friend said that in their home they have a pin board on their wall and when something happens for which they are grateful they write it down and pin it on the board. This reminds them always to be thankful to God for His work in their lives. What a great way of bringing children up to be a thankful people.

God bless you all

Karen and David
