We had hoped that the Bishops Storehouse renovation would have been completed by the time we started our afternoon shift yesterday but, alas, not so. We filled orders by going directly to items which were still mostly in boxes in the warehouse. So it was challenging in many ways. One thing I learned was how patient and loving the people are who we serve with. It's also very nice to see the many people who come to the Storehouse to help someone else. And, not least, the people who are in need who are so grateful for what we provide for them. We worked a little harder than usual and stayed later than usual but the work is so satisfying.

Come Follow Me 

Ephesians 3: 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

"The more I come to know my Heavenly Father, the more I see how He inspires and leads His children. He is not angry, vengeful, or retaliatory. His very purpose—His work and His glory—is to mentor us, exalt us, and lead us to His fulness.

God described Himself to Moses as “merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.”

Our Father in Heaven’s love for us, His children, surpasses by far our ability to comprehend."
