always interesting around my

children anticipating Christ

fierce battles a five-year-old
boy encounters in anticipation
of getting a genuine Roy
Rogers cowboy suit equipped
with double holster pistols, or

kicked for the return of Christ

questions they posed to Jesus
about that prophesied event.
This week's lemon focuses in
on Jesus describing and de
tailing this day of fee Lord.

Jesus says the signs he his
previously described will bear
evidence to his approaching
return. Jesus was not projo?
ting before human eyes a
caldendar of events initiated
by seasonal countdown. Verse
30 has been a source of
controversy for those who
want to make Jesus a scientist
rather than a Savior. The
reference to "generation"
does not schedule "these
things" to occur within the
first century. The time chart
in God's spiritual terminal
does not measure his arrivals
and departures in hours and

for the Servants. What should
be our response or activity in
light of Jesus' return? Does
he give us any special as

Yes, watch and pray. The
watchfnlneaa we are to have is
not for the Son who will
appear in the douds, but
rather for the enemy that
desires to invade his vineyard
during his absence. As
servants we must be alert to

THE PHYSICIAN [GOO(
BEHIND THE PHYSICIANS
I DOCTORS!
Read Hebrews 13:5, Matt.
28:20. As 1 entered South
eastern General Hospital Jan.
30,1982, in a very low state, I
have been in bad shape far
quite a while. It seemed 1
couldn't make it any farther.
My breathing had become so
short at intervals it seemed as
if that would be the last
breath I drew.
I was fortunate, to get Dr.
Leeland Jones, someone I had
never met before. He is a
dedicated Servant nf-finH (A
minister also). He was ap
pointed as my doctor. Throu
gh die working of the Lord,
him and prayers, God took
over. After coming out of my
serious stage, I pondered
daily "Nothing is going to
happen to me that my Lord
and 1 can't solve. Dr. Jones
would stand by my bed
holding my hands and pray
for me.
Last month during this same
month. I was in the hospital.
But I'm sure God is restrain
ing me far a purpose and He
never makes mistakes. Why
me? Or why should so and so
be healthy and I be' sick?
Sometimes, to be sure, we can
see that illness is s direct
consequence of our having
made demands upon our
bodies they were not equip
ped to meet. And most of all,
we know God's will toward us
is love, even though we may
not fathom all his ways with
us.
(Mi God, help me and all
others sick to keep bitterness
out of our envy of those who
enjoy good health. Help us
' to accept it with fortitude and
hope. That is not a sign that
thou hast withdrawn thy love.
For even when we are asleep
the Great Physician is at work
within the Creature He has
made.
Dependence- Not forgetting .
the responsibilities. When 1
returned home in which were
left to other hands, the
numerous friends who came
daily sharing their love in
perparing meals and different
chores- for me memories of
you my friends are the kind
that don't fade. And I can only
thank God and trust Him to
relay all that I feel in my.
heart but can't say to all in
person. Thanks again.
We have in the hospital
Trudie, my brother, Saaford
Locklear's daughter. Also
Loraine Sampson, my sister
Sarah's daughter. They also
need your prayers.

It Con Be Done
Somebody said that jt couldn't be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't but he would be one
. Who wouldn't say so until he tried.
So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin;
If he worried, he hid it.
Hb started to sing as he tackled the thing
That could not be done and he did it
Somebody scoffed, "Oh, jou will never do that"
"At least no one has ever done, it"
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat
And the first thing he knew, he began it.
With the lift ol hi( cnin and a bit 01 ? grin;
Without any doubting or quitting
He started to sing a* ne tackled the thing
That couldn't be done and he dkl It. W
