Scripture Readings for the Day:
2 Thessalonians 1:10-2:2
10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Great Apostasy
1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.Luke 11:1-10
The Model Prayer
1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”
God grant you many years Father! Happy Birthday.

TODAY is your birthday?? Many, many years! If it's any consolation, I will be 64 on December 24 -- not too far behind you. (Probably not much consolation, as I find myself wondering sometimes if *anybody* is older than I am...)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Father Abbot and God Grant You Many More!
