Ancient Words

Pam Weinreis • Sep 16, 2021

The early morning breeze moves the shades in room 110 as the one who raised me struggles to breathe.


The emotions spill from my eyes.


How do we live this one life well because we all will face death?

Can we find the answers in the Bible?


The Bible is the inspired word of God and


His revelation to all people of himself and His plan of salvation.

The Bible is the inspired word of God

and His revelation to all people of himself and

His plan of salvation.

For several months our Pastor has been preaching a series called “Ancient Words.”


One of his questions, “Do we read the Bible for information or formation?”


The day has been long and difficult in room 110. I pick up the Bible to read it because I need it.


I begin to read aloud to the one who raised me.


Psalm 23


The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.


He makes me lie down in green pastures.


He leads me beside still waters.


He restores my soul.


He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.


Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,


I will fear no evil,


for you are with me;


your rod and your staff,


they comfort me.


You prepare a table before me


in the presence of my enemies;


you anoint my head with oil;


my cup overflows.


Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me


all the days of my life,


and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord


forever.

The labored breathing is now regular and quiet; sleep comes for this night.


I will treasure this moment forever.


For the one who raised me has finished the race, fought the good fight,


and received the ultimate prize, everlasting life in heaven.


That day in July formed me.


Those ancient words calmed our fears and soothed our souls.


Will you let the Word change you?


“Ancient words ever true


Changing me changing you


We have come with open hearts


Oh, let the ancient words impart.” ( lyrics Ancient Words)


Let the change begin.


Until next time, Pam.

Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.

Most of the world’s discussion about peace today centers around the absence of wars between nations. We are past the anniversary of the Ukraine war; this world does not seem peaceful. But the Bible focuses on a different kind of peace. A personal peace that is not dependent on what is happening around us.
