God’s Way

Hello there!

One day while out walking, our neighbour led Gary and I to the bridge over our Credit river in Churchville.  He told us to look at a Weeping Willow branch hanging over the bank by his backyard.  About 20 feet up the branch from the water he had discovered a bird’s nest the size of a softball buried within the leaves.  The nest belongs to a Baltimore Oriole and its family.  How clever is that? A few days later, we showed our daughter and her family this bird’s interesting home.  All of a sudden, we spied a huge turtle, about 2 feet in diameter, sticking his nose up out of the water below looking up at us. We have never seen one like him. So how long have these rushing waters been his home?  Another day when Gary was out walking a mother raccoon followed by her small babies crossed the road ahead of him.  Was she taking them to some new living quarters?  Then as we were heading into our grocery store one morning, we saw a mother duck with her 6 goslings obediently following her in a line across the busy parking lot.  Was she taking them to a new home too?  We stood gawking, holding our breath for fear that a car would unexpectedly come along and smush them all.  Everyone of God’s creatures keeps busy lives with much determination.  They know God’s way that has been built within each one.

I was intrigued, recently, to hear some women on a television talk show admit that they really didn’t want to go back to the chaotic lifestyle they led before COVID. This crisis has caused everyone to re-evaluate every aspect of their lives.  They need to come to the realization that God’s way is not chaotic.  

Another neighbour of ours has agreed to read the book of John in the Bible Gary gave to her for her father-in-law.  She is concerned about his struggles with terminal health issues along with questioning where God is in all this turmoil. Please pray that God will open both their eyes to fully understand His way that he has outlined for them in His Word.

Thomas, Jesus’ disciple asked Him in John 14:5-6, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”  We are longing to get working on our community survey program with the help of our government to let people in Milton know about God’s way.  We may have found two students to work for us.  The government will not send money until we let them know who we have hired.  Please pray that this will come together soon.  Learn more about what is happening at Hillside by clicking on facebook.com/hillsidechurchmilton/live.  Gary could also use prayer for completing some courses he is working on.  A lot of his time is spent on repairing old computer equipment or just waiting for a slow computer to process what it is supposed to do.

Stay healthy and enjoy another holiday weekend with your family,

Wendy
