A SLICE OF FRESH BREAD
 
The road trip was long and tiresome, and I needed to return home as soon as possible. We needed gas (petrol), the front and rear windshields were both covered with dirt and bugs, and I was tired and needed a break.
 
I started the pump, finished cleaning the windshields, hopped into the car, drove off and heard a strange noise. The nozzle was still in the car, and I had pulled the hose out of the gas pump.
 
Visions of flames and explosions flashed through my mind. Fortunately, all the safeguards worked; the pump shut off and the gas stopped flowing. The station attendant came to my rescue and popped the disconnected hose back into its socket. All returned to good as new in minutes.
 
We all make mistakes. Sometimes big mistakes. We create dangerous and destructive messes. In Ephesians 2, Paul describes our horrendous predicament and then says, “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ. . .” (Ephesians 2:4-5a).
 
Avoid making hazardous mistakes. But when you find yourself in a mess, remember: God loves us, is rich in mercy, and can overcome whatever disastrous blunder we make.

PRAISE REPORT
CC-South Africa would like to praise the Lord for a lovely shower of rain in the Western Cape Province. Social media showed people from all over the province stopping their vehicles on the highways to pray and thank the Lord. They would like to thank the Lord for safe traveling of Executive members that had a blessed meeting in the Cape Peninsula. During the meeting, it started raining.
