Please read the post I entered previous to this one. We wanted to share our new address and email addresses. Our new address is 321 –3rd Ave. N, Casselton, ND, 58012. Sam’s email is: seprop@q.com. Deb’s email address is deprop@q.com. We have had a little trouble getting our email up and running mainly because my computer skills are greatly lacking and Sam has lost a lot of what he knew due to his brain injury from his stroke. I have also discovered that we have lost many of your email addresses, so we would appreciate if you could write us a short message so we can update our address books. Thank you for your help with this.
Before we left Bruderheim, they had a good-bye service for us. The music team picked many wonderful worship songs for our congregation to sing, but one especially has stuck with me since that time. John’s Grade 4 teacher in Bruderheim presented us with a beautiful handmade book of lyrics and three CDs of what she called traveling music. This same song was in that book and we have played the CD quite often. The song is Blessed Be Your Name from Tree 63. Here’re the lyrics:
Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name when I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name
Chorus
Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name
2 Corinthians 4:17,18 says, “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” We are learning what these verses mean for our lives. We have a lot to learn. Growing and learning in Jesus, Sam, Deb, John
