Card #19 and Last in a COVID-19 Card-a-Day Series

Verse for the Day

Jude 24 & 25 KJV “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”

Song for the Day

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts is Christian love.
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares.

We share each other's woes,
Our mutual burdens bear
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

When we asunder past
It gives us inward pain,
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again...

~ John Fawcett

Song Suggestion: Picture hearts joining hearts at the Father’s throne of mercy as you sing this song.

COVID-19 Prayer Focus

Impatient Ones

We may put ourselves into this category as well as remembering others who are dealing with impatience during this COVID-19 crisis. As we ask Jesus “How long?”, we can keep our eyes on Him in confidence and trust. May we have courage to name our struggles and release them to Him, praying in the power of His Name!

           

God is to be adored for: Being our Future

This photo documents one of the many games and activities our children engaged in over the years. It likely falls under the category entitled Invented by One of our Own. I’m sure I don’t have all the details straight on how to play this particular game, but I’m going to say they were having a contest to see who could hold up their arms the longest.

Let’s pretend that they are rooting for us all, raising their arms in triumph to say, “We are here supporting you. You are going to make it through the COVID-19 Crisis!”.

 

Pic from Now

Twenty of our orchard workers from Jamaica have arrived on our farms in the Vienna (Ontario) area. However, before they can begin pruning the trees or doing any other form of orchard work, they must self-isolate for two weeks. They each need to report their health status to Ken every day, and he keeps record on a chart. On the weekend, Ken received numerous texts and voice notes from the guys with their daily report, and I learned that they call him “Chief”. I like that! It also warmed my heart to discover that the Chief, after going over a long list of instructions and precautions with the guys the first morning they were here, offered to pray with them, which they gladly accepted.

What is it?

Today’s mystery photo:

Answer to yesterday’s photo: A car key.

Note: As was mentioned yesterday, this is the last card in the COVID-19 Card-A-Day Series. Tomorrow, I plan to post the answer to Today’s Mystery Photo, and add a little something else. Perhaps a question for discussion that came up among us3athome recently, perhaps a tidbit of wisdom or encouragement I came across, that sort of thing. Then again, knowing me, it could easily be a photo or two…
