Dear Friends,
It has been a while since I last sent you a devotional. First of all, I want to thank all of those who faithfully served this church while many of us were in other churches in Italy serving and singing for the glory of God. It’s wonderful to think of our music ministry both locally and worldwide. What a great group of people! Thanks especially to Beth for conducting and leading so well in my absence. Thanks also to all of you who were praying for our trip. We definitely felt your fervent prayers on our behalf. We have lots of stories to share with you tomorrow night at our short rehearsal, so plan on staying for a while and sharing fellowship with one another. I’ve missed you!
This day is indeed a gift that needs to be embraced fully in the light of Christ. Give thanks for it. Sing a song of praise for it. Tell others about God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Let us share the Good News where ever we can and in any way that we can. Amen! Peace and Love, Scott

Open Your Hands and your heart to receive this day as a precious gift from Me. I begin each day with a sunrise, announcing My radiant Presence. By the time you rise from your bed, I have already prepared the way before you. I eagerly await your first conscious thought. I rejoice when you glance My way.
Bring Me the gift of thanksgiving, which opens your heart to rich communion with Me. Because I am God, from whom all blessings flow, thankfulness is the best way to draw near Me. Sing praise songs to Me; tell of My wondrous works. Remember that I take great delight in you; I rejoice over you with singing.
Psalm 118:24 24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 95:2 2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.
Zephaniah 3:17 17The LORD your God 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.”
