Good Morning! Monday morning, snow and wind, it is becoming a February standard.  What a great day of worship yesterday, it was so fun to have my boys home and Peter was awesome playing and singing.  We did have sad news this weekend, Phyllis Hocker passed away Saturday, details as we know them are in this message.  Pat Springman also passed away this weekend and has already been laid to rest. May God be with the families as they mourn.  I know God will bless you today, look for it!

Funeral services for Phyllis Hocker of Salem, age 78, will be held Wednesday morning at the Dent County Memorial Chapel in Salem. Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 Tuesday. Interment will be in the Cedar Grove Cemetery. The Hocker Family asks that donations be made to the Dent County Animal Shelter instead of plants of flowers.

“Therefore I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he is given to the Lord.”     1 Samuel 1:28

Hannah has longed for this child, mourned being without a child and now she is giving the child to the Lord.  This is more than simply commending him to the Lord, she will leave him at the temple.  What a love and trust of God.  Hannah recognizes where her blessings come from and is willing to place all she has in the hands of the Lord.  We can learn much from her.   A thought for today.

Yesterday’s question: What is the snowiest US city with a biblical name?  Syracuse, NY which receives over 100 inches a year.  We don’t have a winner today.
