Good Morning Everyone,
I have been reflecting all week on how to connect with the senior community at EBC. Having a blog is a great idea, but not everyone goes online. Email or phone seems to be the way to communicate during these days of isolation. I have been writing a Sunday Morning Thought, for three weeks and posting it on the blog, but today I am also sending it via email.
I want all of you to know I care, and I AM praying for you. Thank you to all who are praying for me during this time I appreciate every prayer. I have been doing well.

During this time of isolation, it is my prayer that
this time will be used wisely and not wasted. I sense that this is truly a time
to practice being still before God, letting Him guide and direct my
prayers. And to practice being grateful for
all that I have even the gift of every breath I breathe. Living a grateful life truly makes a
difference in this world.
A scripture that has been in my prayers over the last five weeks is from 2 Chronicles 7:14-15.

Then
if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek
my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will
forgive their sins and restore their land. My
eyes will be open, and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.
God desires that we come humbly before Him. That we are people who turn to Him and pray. Simple, but it can be hard.
When we practice daily reading scripture to know who God is and live a life of gratitude, then turning to Him becomes a discipline and a desire. As we continually turn to Him with an open and grateful heart, He will transform us into the people He desires.
He desires us to be humble people who pray and are continually seeking to do his will. As we put these into practice, doors will open for God to heal our land. What a promise, especially for these times of COVID-19.
God hears our prayers. He sees us and knows us well. We need to be faithful to turn to Him.
Prayer: Father God, I ask today that you will help us to live this day to the fullest with grateful hearts being true to you. Thank you that you are faithful to us, and you have given us the gift of faith. Help us to be committed to you in all that we do and say. Help us to be people who humbly come before you in prayer seeking your presence and will.
Jesus, help us to give ourselves in service to others even when we do not want to. Help us to love well.
Holy Spirit, we ask you to empower us to proclaim the Gospel message of Christ by the words we speak and all that we chose to do this day. Amen.
