Paul lists ten ways God brings good from trouble
RESIDENTS OF
EAST WAWANOSH
We’re coming to your door!
Each Monday and Thursday evening during the month of August, firefighters from the Wingham
and Blyth Stations will be coming to your door.
We’ll be checking for working smoke alarms in every residence and dropping off important fire
safety information for your family.
Smoke Alarms: It’s the Law
Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping
areas.
Homeowners: It is the responsibility of homeowners to install and maintain smoke alarms on
every storey of their home and outside sleeping areas.
Landlords: It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties comply with the law.
Tenants: If you are a tenant of a rental property and do not have the required number of smoke
alarms, contact your landlord immediately. It is against the law for tenants to remove the batteries
or tamper with the alarm in any way.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FIRE CODE SMOKE ALARM REQUIREMENTS COULD
RESULT IN A TICKET FOR $235 OR A FINE OF UP TO $50,000 FOR INDIVIDUALS OR
$100,000 FOR CORPORATIONS.
Summer of Amnesty
During our Door-to-Door Smoke Alarm Blitz there will be no fines. If your smoke detector isn’t
working we’ll provide you with a FREE battery. Don’t have a working smoke alarm? We’ll provide
you one FREE. And our firefighters will install it for you too!
stopped praying for you andasking God to fill you with theknowledge of his will through allspiritual wisdom andunderstanding.” Who’s in special
need that you can be praying for this
week? That praying will also
increase your mutual love for one
another.
Ninth, testing increases faith
which results in action. Troubles
develop faith-muscles that work and
produce righteous deeds. V11, the
apostle prays that God will fulfill
“every act prompted by your faith.”
Likewise in his first letter he referredin 1:3 to “your work produced byfaith, your labour prompted bylove...” Faith without works is dead -like the ‘faith’ of demons whobelieve there is one God - and
shudder, but don’t re-align their
actions (James 2:17,19). Troubles
grow our faith to be healthy – faith
that acts.
And tenth, troubles result in us
being glorified in Jesus. V12, “We
pray this so that the name of our
Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,
and you in him...” Not only will
Christ receive honour and glory in
His faithful people when He comes;believers will receive glory in Himas a result of standing the test ofproblems and persecution duringtheir earthly life. Isn’t that anawesome thought, that the Lord
Himself will share His glory with
us?
Those who are in Christ need not
be discouraged by hardships and
persecution. The Lord can bring
much good out of such trials.
Eileen Egan, who worked with
Mother Teresa and with the
Missionaries of Charity for thirty
years, described Mother Teresa’s
outlook on adversity like this: “Oneday, after my conservation had beenfilled with a litany of problems,Mother Teresa remarked,‘Everything is a problem. Why notuse the word Gift?’ With that began
a shift in vocabulary. Shortly
thereafter, we were to fly from
Vancouver to New York City. I was
dismayed to learn that the trip had to
be broken en route, with a long
delay, and was about to inform her
of the problem. Then I caught
myself and said, ‘Mother, I have to
tell you about a gift. We have to wait
four hours here, and you won’t
arrive at the convent until very late.’Mother Teresa settled down in theairport to read a book ofmeditations, a favourite of hers.[Egan concludes] From that time on,items that presented
disappointments or difficulties
would be introduced with ‘We have
a small gift here,’or, ‘Today we have
an especially big gift.’”
As Paul showed the Thessalonians
all the good that could come out of
their troubles by the Lord’s help,
may God show each of us how a
problem can instead become a
present for us!

Sheep Club studies butchering
By Jo-Ann McDonald
Comrades Eric Ross and Bob
Richardson represented the Branch
at district golf a couple of weeks
ago. They report having a great
day but their golfing didn’t fare so
well. When the boys earned
the opportunity to advance to zone,
Eric had a good day of golf and
Bob did just alright. At district, the
roles were reversed, with Bob
having the good day and Eric
doing just alright. Hopefully the
boys will jive at the same time next
year.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had approximately 10 tables of
players. The first-place team was
John and Catherine with 85 points.
The second-place team was Glenda
Morrison and Elsie Carter
with 74 points and third place
went to Ethel and Lorna with 72
points.
The ladies’ lone-hand prize went
to Bev Hayden and the men’s to
Glenn Sellers. The low prize went to
George and Gloria Love.
The fish fry crew was off to
Bayfield to do a small fry at a camp.
Rick and Jo-Ann McDonald and
Jason and LeeAnn Konarski looked
after cooking for the just over 100
diners.
The food booth at the Tigers ball
tournament went very well with 30
comrades doing their part for the
Branch by helping out.
Our best goes out to Adam Smith
who is in London Hospital
recovering from surgery.
We hope he has a speedy recovery.

On Monday, July 19 the 4-H
Sheep Club headed to Green’s Meat
Market in Wingham to watch a 56-
pound lamb get butchered.
Members of the group had to wear
hairnets before entering the
butchering room. Members
observed the butcher by the name of
Mr. Green, cut pieces of meat and
then tie the meat up. It was an
interesting experience.
The group learned that the meat
market was almost 40 years old,
they also learned that the animal had
to be at least a week old before it
could be butchered. After watching
Mr. Green, the group went into the
cooling area where there were about
15 pigs and 10 cattle waiting to get
butchered, and of course they were
already dead. The cattle were a lot
bigger than the pigs, the cows were
huge.
After taking a good look at
everything, Mr. Green dismissed the
group, so members headed to
Centennial Park for pizza and a brief
meeting.
The vice president closed the
meeting with the 4-H motto “Learn
to do by doing”.
This was the group’s fourth
meeting of the year. Next month is
the Bayfield Fair, so all 4-H
members should continue working
with their animals.
And he’s in!
