Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)
Learning to stretch our bodies, spirits, minds, or opinions in new ways is never easy but becomes especially challenging as we age. Since we have entered our 60s, it is a bit amusing and frustrating to recognize how much longer some things take—memorizing Scripture, taking care of finances, changing eating habits, recovering from hard physical labor, etc. Yet, failure to stretch in various ways diminishes the quality of daily life. We practice learning to model changes that prove even old dogs can learn new tricks, rather than criticizing younger generations for not exercising, eating right, or developing spiritual disciplines.
This week, after his week-long stint in the hospital, Debbie’s father, Eddie, accepted the challenge to stretch his capacities at the NHC rehab center in Cookeville. We applaud his decision at age 85 to regain as much strength as possible for the next phase of life but recognize he will need coaching. Anyone who has helped care for a spouse, parent, or other person knows how you can neglect your health while being preoccupied with loved ones’ needs. Thank you for praying for his physical strength, suitable lodging, and our stamina in balancing health, ministry, and family service.
Come and See (Psalm 34:8)
At times, stretching entails taking on a project with less-than-ideal resources. As of last May, the CHE workers of Albania accepted the weighty responsibility of hosting the International Wholistic Missions Conference in their country in October. It will be the first time another country besides the United States hosts it. Having been heavily involved in participating, hosting, and planning CHE conferences in W. Africa, we are impressed by their commitment and pray for their efforts.
