GCCN MOPS: Emotional 2nd Meeting

Last Friday was our 2nd MOPS meeting of the year and it was definitely an emotional one. Terri Phillips opened the morning with an incredible devotion. She spoke of how God has used this last year, since she was diagnosed with cancer, to draw her closer to Him and depend only on Him. She shared a great letter that a friend sent to her just when she needed it.

This is God. Today I will be handling ALL of your problems for you. I do NOT need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.

P.S. And, remember . . .
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do NOT attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

Now, you have a nice day.

God

Leah Hobbs shared her testimony about how God has used her to help other mothers after the loss of an infant. She also shared about International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. The Month of October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Month and a special day has been designated for families who have experienced loss: at 7pm on October 15th babies who have passed will be remembered all around the world by the lighting of candles for one hour in an International Wave of Light.

To close out the meeting Shelby Wolfe and Jennifer Grossman helped us put together "Giving Jars". The jars are meant to be passed on from friend to friend. Each time filling the jar with a treat and a prayer.

Thank you to all who were able to join us last Friday and we look forward to seeing you all again next month.
