Sing praises to the LORD
O you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment;
his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning."

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Phil 4:6)
VMBM: On a windy day, a sheet blew off the clothesline on Eva Eberly’s balcony in Bari, Italy. While trying to retrieve it from the lines below, she was able to meet, greet, and talk with four different neighbors. One lady even showed Eva her entire house, including pictures of her children and grandchildren. Eva says, “This is a sure sign you are accepted as a friend.”
Mennonite Mission Network: Service Opportunities for Older People (SOOP) is a short-term, flexible service program that seeks to connect the gifts and skills of adults over age 50 with situations of need across North America.
