Many of u s know th is part but, there is a second part to the prayer; "and grant me the patience for the things that take timne; appreciation for what I have, tolerance for those with different struggles and strength to try again, one day at a un.

I must admit that even though I don't look forward to having to remove the snow, it does makes everything look nice and bright. I almost feel like going out and doing some Christmas shopping, 'maybe next week." It has been 3 weeks since my last column, in that time Kendal has. lost another member of the community, Bemnice Soper. Bemnice spent her whole life in the Kendal area. My first memories of ber were as a young teenager when she took me to a young peoples picnic. Bemice loved to play cards and attended as many euchre parties as pos- sible. Bernice will be sadly missed. Sunday was a beautiful bright sunny day, and although other ski resorts opened this weekend, Kirby Ski Hill is not open yet. There was a good atten- dance ai church this morn- ing. The service opened with the gathering hymns, "Bigger Than A Mountain", *"By My Spirit", and "The Haven 0f lRest". Rev. Black welcomed ail. The opening hymn was "Learning To Lean". The Invitation to Worship was fol- Iowed by the Prayer of Approach. The hymn "The God of Abraham, Fraise" was sung and the Prayer of Self- ExaminaI ion was given and the Words ot Assuirance fol- l<)wed.

David called the children to the front, he told them that, it is no secret, what God can do. He asked them, do you think this is true? Wfhat can God do? The children said that He could make flow- ers, were they ail the samie? They said no, they were al different colours. David told them that God made us, and we were ail different. He asked thiem what did God do when they were aifraid? God gives them courage, strength when it is needed, perhaps to pull someone to safety. It is no secret what God can do, He does wonderful things every day. The Bible is filed with stories of children, nlot only aduits, that God bas given His gifts to. Lyle and Yvonne sang, "*Consider the Lilies." Tbe Scripture was from Psalms 124, 125 and Corinthians Chapter 12. The sermon was titled "How". Two weeks ago the sermon was, -God Only Knows" Since then David bas been asked numerous times, How? How do you let go your trou- bles to the Lord? How do you do this? It is easy to say but bard, to do. This question keeps ruany tbinking people from acccpting the fullness of liftè Ibat Jesus promises theni. Tbey don't know bow to do il, and iin other cases Iliry are ai raid 1tn ty.

How do you leave your troubles in God's hands? This is the story of a womnan who was having a troubled night, she had a vision of God and she was telling Him of her troubles but her troubles did'not go away. She argued with God, He told her that 'she had neyer left them with Him, everytime He went to take them she took them back. Think about this, the only reason that you are here, you were given life, no matter Who you are, what others may think of you, what you may think of yourself, God cares for you, God made you and God doesn't make Junk. God made Jesus. Jesus life was not always pleasant or easy, but Jesus knew God. Jesus knew that through the loss of a friend, the betrayal- of a fol- lower, the charges made against Him, the trial and the acknowledge of His comîng death, Jesus knew that God loved Him. God gave H im the strength to go on. It was flot because Jesus had any kind of special rela- tionship with God that is flot available to you, but because ,Jesu-s took advantage of the samne opportnities that you have today, ighst now. Much of it depends on you. You haeto choose to believe, you hiave to miake thie effort to alflow God to eýstabIishi a rela- ionsbip withyVol].
