JUNE NEWSLETTER

WOMEN’S AUXILIARY PLETTENBERG BAY

I’ve taken a slightly different approach to my newsletter this month seeing that I have had more time for reflection and spiritual growth. The month of June has been somewhat of a quieter time giving us a chance to catch our breathe and look ahead to the next six months of the year. God knows when we need to rest and seems to always provide the opportunities to do just that. We were planning to host a soup and Bingo evening at the end of June but God knew better and we have postponed it to later in July.

God, expects us to rest in many ways every day so we can worship him and acknowledge that as humans, rest is necessary to show God’s love at work, at school and at home.

 

But, did you know rest is important to your spiritual health as well?

In the book of Psalms, we discover what resting in God truly means. The psalmist shows us steps we can take to find the type of rest that restores our soul.

Step One: Call to Him During Sleepless Nights (Psalm 4) …

Step Two: Trust God With Your Future (Psalm 16:1-2; 7-11) …

Step Three: Allow Him To Lead You (Psalm 23) …

Step Four: Give All Your Worries to Him (Psalm 127) …

Step Five: Quiet Your Soul Before God (Psalm 131)

The WA though as we all know is never completely idle and we have continued to carry out our various portfolios and caring for each other.

An outreach we carry out with compassion and love is that of catering and serving teas at memorial services. This year we have catered for 4 services. One being that of Ethne Rupp who was one of our Country & Postal Members. Gloria continues to care so lovingly for all our past WA ladies.

We also continue throughout the year blessing those in hospital with Love packets carefully packed by Jeannette and her team of ladies. Up to date we have distributed 11 Love packets to folk ill in hospital. This is so appreciated by the receivers.

During quieter period I’ve had time to devote to my garden, which I love and was blessed to have this little Sunbird visit. I held her for quiet a while then gave her some sugar water and the little fledgling flew off happily. God knows how to bless us with His wonders.

 “There’s no rest in any other direction. He alone is the source of life and joy and soul rest”
