One morning at a time ...

"It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Thy Faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23

This sure has been a great blessing in our lives here in Portugal.

We have learned a lot from each dawn .... indeed, from every moment that we have lived here. Look at the sun to rise on the horizon, among the buildings and houses, bring us the confidence that only "the mercies of the Lord" kepp us standing to glorify Him with our lives in every situation that we will have throughout the day. This is very good!

Last week was very full and we thank the Lord for it.

On Thursday, we completed the 1st month of classes at the "Be an approved worker" course. I have been the instructor of this course, serving the PBI (Portuguese Bible Institute) in one of the modules for distance education. It is a class with 25 students from different churches and nationalities.

Earlier, on Tuesday, was the 1st class of the subject of Hermeneutics, that I will be leading at the School of the Bible. The School works in the Baptist Church of Cascais. There are 12 students who are completing the module I in December and 5 or 6 attending to isolated subjects. Module II is now scheduled to begin in next January.

To teach, to share with these brothers what the Lord has taught me, has been a great gift for my life. It is a great privilege to participate in the growth of these "servants" who want to be prepared to show Jesus through their lives and ministries. Thank you Lord!

Erick, our oldest son, was ranked to the Superior School of Mechanical Engineering, located in Setubal. So, on Friday, we went there to ask for the details of registration and also know the place that is something like 80 km  far from here. He is very excited for this new step in his life. University is not easy ... pray for him.

On Saturday we went to the Poets Park in Oeiras, where we had a very nice time with the families of Pastor Alex and Pastor Luis. A beautiful place that allowed us a good conversation and time together.

Today we begin a new week. . . as family we keep going in the certainty that the Lord has sustained and blessed us. . . as servants who seek to please their Lord, we are still in the dependence of the Holy Spirit to do so.

This way we hope, one morning at a time, glorify the Lord in every moment of our lives.

See you later.
