Word for the Week

Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.

We have just entered a new Hebraic month called Adar I.  The command for this month is to be joyful in all situations whether we feel like it or not.  To rejoice and be joyful are not suggestions but mandates.   I was put to the test within a couple of hours of receiving this word.   The adult son of one of our teachers, Irene, was killed late last night in a traffic accident.   Yes, he was saved but leaves behind a wife and two small girls.   Pray with us that we demonstrate how to “rejoice” in a a tragic situation.   This affects the entire village.
