Friday, October 11th, 2013


Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus.  Alice and I were away for 11 days in Alberta and while there we visited my brother and his wife for 4 days and then attended the National Ministers Conference in Calgary.  The conference was very busy, leaving the hotel between 8 and 9am each morning and arriving back after 10pm at night.   I have discovered that going away doesn't mean that I had a rest.  God made everything in 6 days and on the 7th day He rested.  I have a strong belief that faithfully working is a great part of living a successfully and yet we also need to rest if we are going to renew our strength to work yet for another day.  Rest refreshes us and makes us more alert and less likely to make mistakes.  You can say things the wrong way when you're tired that you wouldn't say if you were rested.  God is our example of balance, He worked and He rested.  Some good old fashion hard work is wonderful but don't forget to also have some good old fashion rest.        
This is Thanksgiving Sunday and I'll be sharing on, 'The Harvest Is In The Seed.'  Your present harvest is the result of a former seed.  If you have no seed then you can have no harvest.  It is God who provides our seed and the environment to grow the seed and we are to work together with God and receive our just reward.  I am thankful for past and present times of harvest and for the seeds that are in the soil of my heart for the future.  This is no evening service this Sunday.    
Continue to pray for those in need.  Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice.
