Dear Praying Friends:
Thanksgiving! As I reflect upon the many, many things for
which I am thankful, you come to mind. Without you, I could
not serve the Lord in the “Regions beyond”. Without your
prayers, I would not have the strength or courage to carry on.
Without the Lord’s direction in my life, I would have no
purpose. Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. I
am truly thankful for the opportunities I have been given to
serve Him.
This Thanksgiving Day was especially nice for me as I was able
to be at home for a family gathering. My nieces and their
families came from Oklahoma and those who have become family all
came together to enjoy turkey and all the trimmings.
Thankfulness also extends to the opportunities the Lord has
brought my way. This autumn, Miriam Moore, a friend with
whom I taught at BBC, accompanied me to England. What a blessing
to have someone with whom to share the beauty of the “Old
Country”. During the week break between classes, we were able to
journey about. In Scotland, she found graves of distant
grandparents and in both Wales and Coventry, we enjoyed the
fellowship of friends and I spoke for ladies meetings attended
by ladies from several area churches. I enjoyed making wordless
book necklaces for the ladies and sharing the old, old story
with them.
The new students at BBC of Great Britain were a special
blessing. Serving sometimes come in unusual ways. For
example, during English Communication class, a students asked,
“Miss Herman, how do I find verses I know are in the Bible, but
I don’t know how to find them?” At that moment, English
instruction stopped and Bible Study Methods began. What a
joy to pull Strong’s Concordance and other Bible helps and study
books off the library shelves and help Roger understand how to
better use his Bible. The next module course was Methods of
Bible Teaching, so the study continued to help them grasp how to
take the Bible and teach others. The students showed a
remarkable desire to learn. What a privilege is mine! Thank
you for sending me.
Joyfully Serving, |
