CAN YOU HELP VENUS? My sister-in-law is waiting to be placed in a home, but she will not be able to take her little dog, Venus, with her. Venus is affectionate, loyal and an alert little guard dog who would make an excellent companion for a stay-at-home couple or single person. If anyone can offer a safe, loving home to this cute, 9 year old Maltese Poodle/cross, please contact Wendy Rademeyer on 076 472 8164.

CAR BOOT SALE: The next Community Car Boot Sale is being held at the African Market on the corner of George Rex/Vigilance Drive on Saturday, 28^th April from 9 a.m. There is a small fee per “boot or table” to cover advertising and clean toilet facilities. Any extra funds will go towards feeding the unemployed who seek work during the week. We all have items in our homes that we no longer use and that other people may want, but are not able to buy directly from the shops due to limited funds. So… bring along anything you would like to sell as well as your own food, refreshments and sun umbrellas. Remember that many people will be taking the Monday off and turning the weekend into a 5 day break, so there could be a lot of folk in Knysna eager to see what you have to sell! You may have large items which would not be convenient to transport – bring along a photograph mounted on a board to show to prospective buyers! If you don’t have anything to sell, come along anyway as there may be something you would like to buy! (At the first boot sale, I bought an as-good-as-new pressure cooker for only R40, and at the last one, I stocked up on some lovely new hand-made items which will make ideal gifts throughout the year! – Ed.) Please support this community initiative. For more information, contact Cora Rawlins on 082 492 7704/ 044-382 5157 between 2 and 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD…

I recently had to move an item of furniture over a carpeted surface in our spare bedroom. As space was limited, I tried pushing it which proved difficult as the cabinet dug into the pile of the carpet. After a few more attempts, I changed my position and started pulling. As I lifted and pulled, the cabinet moved along smoothly and I soon had it far enough to where a small shove set it into its new location.

This set me thinking about how the Lord guides us onto the right path. He doesn’t push and shove, but, as the Word says, “He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.” (Psalm 23:2,3a). If He was to push us, chances are we would dig our feet in and resist. Instead, He gently lifts us and leads us and, in fact, goes ahead of us, smoothing the way for us. “He guides me in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:3b).

We need never be afraid for He is there, clearing the way and making it smooth for us.

What a gracious, loving Father we have! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!

• Wendy Rademeyer.

Mothers with very young children are welcome to use our Mother’s Room where a loudspeaker system enables them to hear the sermons. Slightly older children (under their mothers’ supervision, please) may use the playground equipment outside the Mother’s Room.

KAROO MIGHTY MEN CONFERENCE 2012: A reminder that this is planned for the 27^th to 29^thApril.  The Conference will be held at the majestic foothills of Renosterberg on Jannie Moolman’s farm, Renosterfontein, just outside Middelburg. It promises to be a wonderful “weekend away” for any group of Christians, is brilliant for Christians struggling with issues in their lives, and is the ideal place for those uncertain of their salvation to have a powerful life-changing encounter with God. Please contact the Karoo MMC secretary Ruthi van der Merwe, at 049-8421384, 0799473566, or visit their website, or email info@karoommc.co.za for more information.

YOUTH ALPHA: The Alpha Course is presented through a series of talks which explain the Gospel in a practical and easy-to-understand way (see here for more). This helps Christians to grow closer to the Lord and non-Christians to experience for the first time the love and grace of our Almighty God, through our risen Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His Holy Spirit. A few months ago, a special “Youth Alpha” was held and lives were changed as many the young folk who attended came to a new relationship with our Saviour. Another “Youth Alpha” is being planned for about a month’s time and will run for approximately 12 weeks. Helpers are needed to become involved in this outreach and everyone is asked to please pray for the organisers. If you would like to help in any way, please contact Bruce Hendry on 082 771 1829 or Monique Vercueil on 044-382 5853. Thank you.

“STILL HE WALKED"

He could hear the crowds screaming "crucify, crucify". He could hear the hatred in their voices. These were his chosen people. He loved them, and they were going to crucify him. He was beaten, bleeding and weakened. His heart was broken… … But still He walked.
He could see the crowd as he came from the palace. He knew each of the faces so well. He had created them. He knew every smile, every laugh, and every shed tear, but now they were contorted with rage and anger… His heart broke… … But still He walked.
He felt alone. His disciples had left, denied, and even betrayed him. He searched the crowd for a loving face and he saw very few. Then he turned his eyes to the only one that mattered, knowing that he would never be alone. He looked back at the crowd, at the people who were spitting at him, throwing rocks at him and mocking him, and he knew that because of him, they would never be alone…

… So for them, He walked.
The sounds of the hammer striking the spikes echoed through the crowd. The cheers of the crowd, as his hands and feet were nailed to the cross, intensified with each blow. And God's heart broke…. He had let His son walk.
Jesus could have asked God to end his suffering, but instead he asked God to forgive - not to forgive him, but to forgive the ones who were persecuting him. As he hung on that cross, dying an unimaginable death, he looked out and saw, not only the faces in the crowd, but also, the face of every person yet to be, and his heart filled with love. As his body was dying, his heart was alive - alive with the limitless, unconditional love he feels for each of us…

…...That is why He walked.
When I forget how much My God loves me,… ...I remember his walk.
When I wonder if I can be forgiven,… ...I remember his walk.
When I need to be reminded of how to live like Christ,… ...I think of his walk.
And to show him how much I love him, I wake up each day, turn my eyes to him… ...... And I walk.

DANCING BEFORE THE LORD: We thank the Lord for the blessing of a beautiful Dance Team which, through the graceful movement of Dance and Music brings glory and honour to the Lord.

I recently bought a packet of smallish apples and when my husband tried one, he commented that they were lovely, crispy and sweet. Knowing that this type of apple can turn starchy if not eaten when fresh, I told my husband that they had to be eaten quickly. He looked at me, smiled and said, “Oh, okay. But I’m chewing as fast as I can!”
