Something to think about.
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Some-body would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybodys job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that
Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

: Prayer Points
Pray that the hearts of all may be enlightened, in order that people may know the hope to which God has called the them.
Pray for the elderly, sick, lonely and the grieving.

Thought for the week.
