Facial Expressions Tell it All Every time
4 PM Owners’ Lounge HILLBILLY ELEGY By J.D. Vance
Observe the winner or loser in the March Madness basketball tournament; the euphoria of victory or the agony of defeat is easily discerned on the face of athletes. Watch the groom’s facial expression as his bride walks down the aisle; such excitement. Look at a kid’s face after the first successful two wheel bike ride, such joy. Picture God’s face when He thinks of us, specifically you. What expression does He have? We often think of Him as serious, sometimes angry at our attitude or action, sometimes feel that He would show no emotion. Not many of us picture God as smiling for those who believe and accept His gift of salvation. C.S. Lewis said that joy is the serious business of Heaven. The Bible speaks of God’s joy and tells us that His joy is our strength. God takes pleasure in all He does and who He is. So sad that many of us do not grasp the reality and joy of Heaven. Today, spend some time in the Bible and notice the feelings of joy that are cultivated as you become aware of how He loves us, and wants only the best for us. Seek the Lord and you will find Him, delight in His gift of salvation, feel His goodness and see His smile. Lord, let us sense your presence in our heart and “see” your smile. Even in stressful anxious times, let me know your joy. May we know you as a God of joy who died and rose from the dead for our Salvation. Read Romans 12:1,2 and make it your prayer.

MEMORIAL CORNER Dedicated to those who have passed on in recent months.
WHEN When Mary poured perfume; Jesus accepted. When hammer struck nail; His love was heard. When thorns were worn; Majesty paraded. When blood flowed red; Mercy washed. When the thief believed; Jesus pardoned. When the blade plunged; the veil ripped. When He rose victorious; lives changed. When Jesus ascended; God smiled.
Long time resident Jean Stout passed away at the age of 87. Jean resided at Lot 27 with husband, Bob, in 1988 as full timers. Jean and Bob became our activity directors. After Bob passed, Jean worked in the mailroom. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out for her and to her family. Jack & Julie Van Remortel
