Top of the morning from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, a Church that has served Christ in and around Vinita, Oklahoma for more than 126 years.
One of our long-time members, Mrs. Julia Bond, has died. A gentle lady, intelligent and humane, I want to share with you two things which I found in her life that can be helpful to everyone.
First, though Mrs. Bond encountered sorrow and pain, I never heard her whine. She made it clear to me that she counted her blessings every day, and that those blessings trumped all else.
Second, she had a smile for others! That smile, with words of support and encouragement, especially to 4-H youth, indicates what in the long run of life does to us depends on what life finds in us.
My hope and prayer is that the Bond Family, and all of our families, will consider our goodly heritage (Psalm 16:5-6).
It is well to count our blessings and to offer a smile for others.
Peace,
Richard
