Happy and Sad
An ancient fable tells of three merchants crossing the
Arabian Desert. Traveling in darkness to
avoid the intense heat one starless night,
they were passing over a dry creek bed
when a voice form the blackness com-
manded them to halt. They were then or-
dered to stoop, pick up pebbles form the
creek bed, and put them in their pockets.
After obeying the strange command,
they were told to leave that place, camp-
ing nowhere near.
The mysterious voice then told them that in the morning
they would be both happy and sad. Shaken and confused,
and obeying the mysterious intruder,
they traveled through the night. When
morning came, the men anxiously
looked into their pockets, and rather
than finding the pebbles as expected,
there were precious jewels.
They, indeed, were happy and sad.
They were happy they had picked up
the jewels, but sad because while they had the opportunity
they had not picked up many more.

Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes
will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit.
Don't Quit
My Next Twelve Hours
Just for today I will. try to live through this
day only, and not tackle my whole life problem
at once. I can do something for 12 hours that
would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up
for a lifetime.
Just for to-
day I will be
happy. This as-
sumes to be true
what Abraham
Lincoln said -
that “Most folks
are as happy as
they make up
their minds to be.”
Just for today I will try to strengthen my
mind. I will study. I will learn something useful.
I will not be a mental loafer. I will read some-
thing that requires effort, thought and concentra-
tion. - Author Unknown

COMMUNION PREPARATION
Oct. 18, 2015
Danial Plummer
Good morning and thanks for being here today! I hope you all had a great week and are enjoying this cooler weather. I know I am!! We have several things go-ing on this month. Please make plans to attend as much as you can. LTC will be coming up soon so be thinking about what you want to participate in this year. We will have a meeting in the next couple of weeks. If any adults want to help coach this year let me know. I hope each of you has a blessed week. See you all tonight. BEN

We welcome each of you today. We are glad you are here. We have been
blessed recently with numerous people either being baptized into Christ or
placing membership with us. This is great. This week promises to be a
wonderful week. The Louisiana-Texas R.V. Rally begins this Wednesday
at Salmon Lake Park. There will be many who come from all over Texas
and other states to be with us next Lord’s Day. The Rally is always an ex-
citing time for our congregation, because several from our congregation
are involved in the activities. There is a poster placed on the bulletin
board detailing the time and subject matter to be discussed at the Rally
this year. RAY FRANKS who directs the Rally will be speaking next Sun-
day morning to the combined Adult Bible Classes in the auditorium. We
hope you can be present. Following our worship service that morning, we
will be having a luncheon in the activity building. Make sure that you
stay for the luncheon, as we will have many visitors staying. It is a great
opportunity to be together in an additional time of fellowship. We are in
the process of remodeling the front of the auditorium in the pulpit area.
We have been wanting to do this for a long time and someone donated
money to begin this project. It will really look nice when it is completed.
This project should take about two weeks. Thanks to those of you who
went to Lufkin last Tuesday evening to attend the Lectureship at the An-
gelina Church of Christ in Lufkin. Paul was excited about seeing all of
you who were in attendance. We will look forward to seeing you tonight at
the evening service. DAN
