One simple way we can support our foster and adoptive families is by providing a meal once a month—just one meal helps a lot.

<br><br>

You don’t have to be a gourmet chef—meals can be homemade, store-bought, or even a restaurant gift card. Every meal is a blessing that reminds these families they are loved, and supported by their church family.
<br><br>
If you’re willing to help, please reach out to <a href="mailto:pennytraber@gmail.com?subject=I%20can%20prepare%20a%20meal&body=" target="_blank">Penny Traber</a>

Preaching Elder

Claire Holley

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”

John 14:1-3 ESV

 

This week I thought I would share a song with you. Maria and I have enjoyed Claire Holley’s music for many years starting with her 1999 album, Sanctuary. I went to Appalachian State University where I learned to love blue grass music. Claire’s music has wide variety but always returns to her unique guitar style and her amazing vocals singing unique Christian songs. This song was written by Julie Miller almost thirty years ago but is covered so well by Claire on her 2019 album, Every Hour. I encourage you to listen to both albums as you may have time.

 

All My Tears

When I’m gone don’t cry for me, in my Father’s arms I’ll be.

The wounds this world left on my soul will all be healed and I’ll be whole.

The sun and moon will be replaced with light of Jesus’ face.

And I will not be ashamed, for my Savior knows my name.

 

It don’t matter where you bury me,

I’ll be home and I’ll be free.

It don’t matter where I lay,

All my tears will be washed away.

 

Gold and silver blind the eye, temporary riches lie.

Come and eat from heavens store, come and drink and thirst no more.

So weep not for me my friend, when my time below does end.

All my life belongs to Him, who will raise the dead again.

 

It don’t matter where you bury me,

I’ll be home and I’ll be free.

It don’t matter where I lay,

All my tears will be washed away.

 

Listen to All My Tears here.
