Today is Thursday, October 19th, 2006; Karen's Korner #914
For the past several weeks, our Sunday School class has been collecting items to mail to our church's college students who are living away from home. Other church members are adding to our stash of hard candies, cocoa mixes, microwave popcorn packages, etc. Sunday is the day we will be dividing up the items and readying them for sending.
One class member thought tucking in a Bible might be a good idea. We contacted a local Gideon and now have pocket-sized New Testaments with the books of Psalms and Proverbs, to include in our goody boxes.
To direct people who might read the Testaments, there is a "Where to Find Help" word guide printed in the front. Words like "afraid, lonely, sick, thankful".
One of the two listings under "protected" is Psalms 18:1 - 3:
"I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, so shall I be saved from my enemies."
