I with pumpkins and cider and children trick or remember when I was young, we lived in Kansas City, treating in our halls. May God bless each of you in Missouri, and we lived on a bank with a wall. Every this season of fall, as we enjoy the foliage and the year we lived there we would rake the leaves right be- wonderful colors God paints in each tree. low the wall, then take turns jumping down into them, Shalom, which gave us hours of fun. I enjoy the cooler weather and the beauty we see in Pastor Earl God’s creation as the leaves change colors before they fall to the ground, where they need to be raked up. God cares for His people in all seasons. Deepest Sympathy In 2 Kings 4:1-7 we find a story of a widow whose Everyone at Orchard Manor extends our heartfelt husband had died, and the creditors is coming to take thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of the her two boys as slaves. Elisha asked her what she had, following Residents who recently passed away. and she replied, “just a small amount of oil in a jar”. Elisha told her, “Go around and ask all your neighbors Mr. David Dunwoody, 9/5 for empty jars. Then go inside and shut the door Mrs. Marilyn Miller, 9/8 behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, Mrs. Sherry Jones, 9/17 and as each is filled, put it to one side.” Mrs. Helen Nord, 9/23 She left him and shut the door behind her and her Mrs. Audrey Wilson, 9/28 sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her Remember Me son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil To the living, I am gone, To the sorrowful, I will never return, stopped flowing. To the angry, I was cheated, She went and told the man of God, and he said, But to the happy, I am at peace, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your And to the faithful, I have never left. sons can live on what is left.” I cannot speak, but I can listen. God provided for this widow because He loved her I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. and her sons and showed them how much He cared by So as you stand upon a shore gazing providing what she needed. God gives to us what we at a beautiful sea, need each day as we live in His presence. This story As you look upon a flower and admire tells us of God’s grace by the way the oil didn’t run its simplicity, out till every empty jar was filled. Remember me. We come in this time of year with appreciation of Remember me in your heart: what God reveals to us as we study His Word and put Your thoughts, and your memories, it in our heart that we don’t sin against Him.
