Wow!! Time goes by so quickly!!! Last week, I helped Captains Jean-Curtis Cartmell and Rachele Lamont at the Lac L’Achigan camp, and I met many people who have in their heart the mission of the Salvation Army. Everyone works extremely hard and the hours of work are long and well filled. I worked three days with the camp and two days at the family service at St-Jerome and Sunday I preached. It was one marvellous week!!!

Throughout my week many people are very generous with their encouragement and compliments. I thought about what the people said and I realized all that I did is for Christ. If I accomplished all these things it’s not because of me, Anne-Marie, I’m not better than another. But if I succeeded in working it’s because God blesses me of a health to do it and I thank God for health that he grants me. Today, I read in 1 Timothy 1:12: ¨I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service¨.

We often take for granted our health. I met a man at the church who has a fragile health and every time he can offer help for the ministry, he does it with all his heart for God. I thank you Lord for this opportunity of working for you! Thank you for being present and helping me achieve what I must do. Thank you for all energy and health that you offer me.

Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29

“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”

Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9

If you are not disciplined
(and everyone undergoes discipline),
then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons.
Moreover, we have all had human fathers
who disciplined us
and we respected them for it.
How much more should we submit
to the Father of our spirits and live!

Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29

“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the LORD
in the splendour of his holiness.”

Living Scripture - Daniel 6:10

Now when Daniel learned
that the decree had been published,
he went home to his upstairs room
where the windows opened toward Jerusalem.
Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed,
giving thanks to his God,
just as he had done before.
