Joyful In All Circumstances
'Rejoice always, '
1 Thessalonians 5:16
Dear Journey Family…
“Rejoice always” It’s that simple, right? It’s not if you try it on your own. Joy is part of the Fruit of The Spirit therefore it cannot be summoned or mustered on our own. It comes from a life that has trusted in Jesus.
He himself experienced the joy that does not depend on circumstances: “…For the joy set before him he endured the cross…” Hebrews 12:2. How can the cross bring him any joy, if he knew what was coming to him? His eyes were fixed on his Father, on the prize that is our salvation, not material things or the circumstances around him.
It sounds easier said than done. But only through him who endured all kinds of pain, can we endure the trials and grievances of this life.
Let’s take a hold of his hand and walk this life tightly to him.
As you are all aware by now, our sister Cathy Weber, Felix’s wife, passed away last week. Please Keep Felix and his family in your prayers. We will be holding Cathy’s Memorial Service this Saturday at our building (8500 Memorial Dr. Plain City, OH 43064) at 11am.
If you are planning on attending, keep in mind that there will be a lot of visitors coming to pay their respects to the family, so we are asking if you wouldn’t mind finding parking on the lots around our building; there will be parking guides when you arrive.
Also if you want to help out with food items, please contact Katie Miller (katiegramma@hotmail/(614) 403-0153) to find out what is still needed.
Lastly if you can’t attend but would like to watch the service here is the link for the stream. Saturday at 11am:
