Mission HouseAnother week of donations coming to us from all directions. God has so richly blessed the Mission House, the leaders, volunteers, and everyone that receives. That is why, “Little is much if God be in it!”Just let me explain how it all works. First off, everything we have at the Mission House is over and above what the per-son (who gives it) wants or needs. God impresses a person or family to give so others may have. It is God that impress-es us to share with those less fortunate than we are. When we stop and think about how God has blessed each one of us, it should humble us as to His mercy and goodness. As the song says, “He’s a good, good Father, always!” Thank you God for All Your Blessings, great or small for we know it is by Your Hands that we receive them all!For more information about the Mission House, please con-tact Lynn Miller at emiller6704@comcast.net.
