Hope Family Ministries Gives Thanks! 

Season to Be Thankful  

Nov. 2011 

Greetings!

It is a mystery that God would not give up on His creation and children. His love reaches beyond our past and beyond today, replacing our fear while keeping us secure. We always have reason to be thankful! Not thankful for the sickness or situations, but thankful for the God who is bigger than those things.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)

"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) God calls and move people as He see fit to accomplish His work. God's timing is certainly not ours. So it is that God has called and moved Bro. William Hurst to another place of service. It has been a blessing to watch him grow in faith and mature with experience and skills in counseling. We appreciate who he is and all he has done to further God's Kingdom while working with Hope Family Ministries. May God bless and bear much fruit through him in this new season.

His, Bro. Mike

The unfolding of Your Words gives light; It gives understanding to the  simple.     Psalm 119:130

 

My soul is weary with sorrow, strengthen me according to Your Word.Psalms 119:28

 

We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure...

BUT this happened that we may not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises  the dead. 2 Cor. 1:8 b & 9b

           

My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in   

weakness. 2 Cor. 12:9

 

The King is Enthralled with your Beauty....Psalm 45:11

 

Though the fig tree does not bud & there are no grapes on the vine,

though the olive crop fails & the fields produce no food,

Though there are no sheep in the pen & no cattle in the stalls,  

Yet...I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Habakkuk 3:17-18

 

The Lord is with you, He is mighty to save,  

He will take great delight in you.

He will quiet you with His love,  

He will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:1
