Everyone enjoyed fireworks on Sunday night. Some camped for the night at the farm and then everyone gathered on Monday for a delicious potluck lunch. Some went golfing on Monday morning and others went fishing at the river and at the pond at Niel Edgar’s. Those attending were from Aylmer, Atwood, Belgrave, Blyth, Brigden, Elmvale, Cambridge, Clinton, Goderich, London and Wingham. As we grow older (J.R. Miller, “The Glory of the Commonplace”) “Even to your old age and grey hair I am He; I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you!” Isaiah 46:4 As we grow older, there should be a constant gaining, never a losing in our spiritual life. Every year should find us living on a higher plane than the year before. Old age should always be the best of life, not marked by spiritual emptiness and decay- -but by nobler fruitfulness and more gracious beauty. Paul was growing old, when he spoke of forgetting things which are behind, and reaching forth to things ahead. His best was yet to be attained. So it should always be with Christian old age. We must ever be turning heavenward, toward nobler life and holier beauty! “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green!” Psalm 92:12-14 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 THANK YOU BLYTH LEGION LADIES AUXILIARY would like to thank everyone who helped us celebrate 36 years of PENNY SALE TRADITION To those businesses and individuals who donated penny sale items, your generous contributions resulted in a very successful fundraising event.
