Two men look at the same scene
(J.R. Miller)
“Be joyful always!” 1 Thessalonians 5:16
“In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy!” 2 Corinthians 7:4
Thankfulness or unthankfulness is largely a matter of the attitude of our heart.
Two men look at the same scene:
one sees the defects and the imperfections; the other sees the beauty and the
brightness.
If you cannot find things to be thankful for today, and every day--the fault is in
yourself, and you ought to pray for a changed heart--a heart to see God’s goodness
and to praise Him.
A joyful heart transfigures all the world around us!It finds something to be
thankful for in the barest circumstances, even in the dark night of the soul. Let us
train ourselves to see the beauty and the goodness in God’s world, and in our own
circumstances--and then we shall stop grumbling, and be content and thankful in
all situations.
“ A happy heart makes the face cheerful!” Proverbs 15:13
“The cheerful heart has a continual feast!” Proverbs 15:15
“A cheerful heart is good medicine--but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
Proverbs 17:12

Resident BR&Esurvey ready soon
North Huron Township Council
launched a survey that will ask
residents what they feel about local
business options.
At Monday night’s council
meeting Economic Development
Officer Connie Goodall explained
that this was the next step in the
business retention and expansion
plans being executed in Wingham
and Blyth.
“The survey will be out by the end
of the week,” she said. “It gives the
community the opportunity to make
comments on local businesses.”
The survey is available online
through the municipality’s
Facebook page and by the end of the
week it should be available across
the municipality.
The bulk of the survey deals with
where and when individuals shop
for specific purchases and how often
residents shop in their community.
Consisting of seven pages and 14
questions, the survey’s results will
be tallied with the business retention
and expansion survey results that
were completed in 2012 to help
form a complete picture of
commercial business in North
Huron’s wards.
Once completed it can be dropped
off at the Auburn District Co-op, the
Queens Bakery in Blyth, Belgrave
Variety or the North
Huron Municipal Office in
Wingham.

The Toonie committee of
Women’s Day Out is looking for
donations of homemade articles for
the Toonie Sale at Women’s Day Out
on Saturday, April 13.
The call to worship was the
singing of two hymns, “Where Two
or Three are Gathered” and “You are
Holy” followed by the prayer of
approach and the singing of The
Lord’s Prayer.
The scripture reading was from
Luke 4: 21-30. The children were
asked to come to the front for their
story time. Rev. Clark told the
children that everyone is precious to
God. You can always say a kind
word to someone. It is also kind to
help someone save something that is
precious to them. He demonstrated
this by having a glass jar on the altar
table that was precious to him and
giving it a little push and asking the
children how they can help to save it.
A couple of the children pushed it
back on the table and stopped it from
falling. The children went
downstairs for their time of
fellowship. The choir sang the
anthem, “The Answer’s On the
Way”.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was “No Leader? No Wonder.” The
next hymn, “Where Cross the
Crowded Ways of Life” was
followed by the receiving of the
offering, the offertory response, “In
the Bleak Midwinter”, the offertory
prayer, the prayers for the people
and silent prayers. The last hymn,
“Walk With Me” was sung followed
by the commissioning and
benediction and the singing of the
response, “Emmanuel”.
Everyone was invited for coffee
and treats and to enjoy the
fellowship with one another.
