| Monday at the Mission
Monday, July 7, 2008 |
Greetings!
In my youth, I learned about the Book of Job as the story of a good and righteous man who suffered greatly and who seemed to be afflicted with every tragedy known to mankind. He loses all of his possessions, his flocks and herds which leads to his being despoiled of his wealth and later to be bereaved of his family and finally fall into ill health. As a young person, I felt truly sorry for Job and questioned why God would allow the righteous to suffer.
Now that I am older in life's counting of the years, I read Job from a different perspective. I focus less on the problems of Job's early life and spend more time thinking about his retirement years, or what Paul Harvey would call "the rest of the story."
In the last chapter of Job we read that "The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than the beginning; and Job had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and he also had seven sons and three daughters. And Job died an old man and full of days." Job 42:12-17.
That verse touches the hearts of guests that have newly arrived at the Mission. Most of them have stories that resemble, in one way or another, the laments and the suffering that Job had at one time or another encountered in his life. Hope is born when they look to the end of the story of Job and remember how God blessed him and enriched his life before he died.
As I now see the story of Job, I understand it as a story of faith, hope and restoration. We know that our guests, in one way or another, have had a hard time of it in life and we want them to come to know that through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ better things lie ahead of them and that God's mercy and justice will prevail in their latter days.
May each of us know God's mercy, justice and blessings in our latter days.
In God's peace,
Barbara B. McCall, J.D.

Sewing Machine for Susan
One of our former guests, a refugee from Iraq, is having difficulty finding work. Susan and her son stayed at the Mission for a few weeks earlier this year.
Susan is skilled in many areas and has done professional sewing in the past. However, she had to sell her sewing machine. She would like to sew custom items as a way to earn money to support herself.
If you have a used, working sewing machine that you are able to donate for Susan, please call Barbara McCall at 402-202-6242 or 475-1303. I am also looking for sewing notions and fabric.
Thank you! |
