September 20. A lot warmer today, although it was nice and cool out this morning. I really wanted to go for a walk, but needed to do some packing and get our bedroom better organized. So after looking through the Ingles ad and doing a couple other small jobs, I got right at the packing. Put a few things in the foot locker, but need to get the pictures down off the wall in the living room, and get the four pictures off the bookshelf in there, so I can pack those in the foot locker. Any other breakable items can go in there too. Not sure what else we have that’s breakable. Then I finished filling in spaces in a large box that was nearly full, got another large box nearly packed, and packed a bucket. I’m thankful that our bedroom doesn’t look so cluttered and overflowing with stuff now. This evening at church, a picture of a missionary family was handed out to each group that prayed together. Then Pastor Ogle shared some areas in which a missionary would have need of prayer, with some Scriptures to go with each point; and we prayed specifically about that need for our missionaries after each point was brought out. It was a good evening of prayer for our missionaries. “And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” Genesis 22:8 Abraham believed that God would provide Himself a sacrifice for sin. And, praise God, He did! “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 “18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.” I Peter 1:18-20 September 21. Shopping day. We wanted to get an early start because we figured there would be a crowd at Lidl’s for their grand opening morning. So we left here around 8:45, thinking they opened at 9:00. Apparently they opened at 8:00, however. The parking lot was already full when we arrived, and people were coming out with their purchases. We were thankful to find a parking space right in front of the store. It’s a nice store and definitely bigger than Aldi. Had a large selection of produce. It took us about an hour to get through the whole store, up and down each aisle, checking out what was available. We did buy a few things that we had on our shopping list. We saw that things that are also available at Aldi were priced just a bit lower than Aldi. Our next stop was WalMart. By the time we finished at Lidl, my legs would hardly move so at WalMart, I used the electric cart. I was certainly thankful that was available. By the time we finished our WalMart shopping, we were both tired so headed home. It was 11:00. Put food away and rested a while. Had lunch. Started working on an MTC (Missionary Training Course) lesson. Had nap. Finished the MTC lesson this afternoon. This evening, I rehearsed the timings on the little desktop slide show I had done, and set it up for continuous looping. “And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.” Genesis 22:12 We may say that we fear God, but unless we are willing to lay our all upon the altar, it cannot be known that we truly fear God. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.” Psalm 111:10 “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” James 2:18
