thought it might be fun and challenging to do a three-part
I series on thankfulness leading up to thanksgiving this year.
So, last month I wrote about being thankful with what we have
financially, this month is on marriage. It is not hard to find a
conversation these days about the trend of marriages breaking
apart, living together without being married etc. If you read this
article and call me old fashioned that is okay with me. For 30
years now, I have Pastored and counseled many marriages and
one thing is still true. Selfishness brings separation and sacrifice
brings satisfaction. Whether we want to believe it or not we were
created to love and to love unconditionally. Philippians 2:3-5 says
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility
of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also
for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which
was also in Christ Jesus” When I choose to look at and act in
thankfulness towards my wife there is no grass that looks greener
on the other side of the fence. The grass is greener at home. I
can already here some of your responses, “You don’t know my
spouse”. Your right I don’t, but I have a question for you, how
stubborn, arrogant and petty can you be? Please let me say that
I never advocate mental, physical, verbal or emotional abuse. So,
If I am willing to learn how to love unconditionally most of the time
my spouse is willing too. It was about ten years ago that a movie
come out called “Fire Proof” from that movie there was a book
made called “The Love Dare”.
The love dare is a 40-day challenge to do acts of unconditional
Arts on the Perquimans
by Pastor Dan Bergey
The Perquimans Arts League is sponsoring the eighth annual
juried Arts and Crafts Show Saturday, October 6, 2018,
from 10 AM – 4 PM. The show is held at the Perquimans
County Recreation Center, 310 Granby St., off Harvey Point
Road, Hertford. Admission is $3.00. Along with unique items
produced by talented artists from throughout NE North Carolina
and Virginia, there will be the always popular bake sale, door
prizes throughout the day, food and drink available for purchase,
and a 50/50 raffle, which garnered nearly $1,000.00 for
last year’s lucky winner. Proceeds from the raffle will support
the building fund for the new PAL gallery in downtown Hertford.
love for your spouse. Doing something like this can help your
marriage no doubt yet you can start today. Choose each day to
be thankful for your spouse and communicate it to them without
any expectation for anything in return. Life brings enough challenges
on its own, sickness, disease, and a host of other ailments
cause stress in many ways. Unconditional love is a strong
foundation that will give you and I the opportunity to serve one
another in a way that says you are important to me. I encourage
you today to begin being thankful for your spouse and your family.
I know you can do it. Next month we will talk about our mansions.
Home is where the heart is, do you believe that?

The Power of the Cross
By Ron Ben-Dov
Copyright 9/25/18 all rights reserved
There’s electric power, steam power,
power of the pen;
I’ve heard of hydro power, combustion engines,
and the wind;
You’ve got hydrogen, solar,
and the power of money;
Yet nothing is as strong as the
power of the cross;
We’ve had armies and their weapons
of mass destruction;
There have been terrorists, murderers,
and anarchists, galore;
They spill your blood, and steal your treasure,
and sap your soul;
Yet nothing is as strong as the
power of the cross;
Only two have ever made the ultimate sacrifice,
for you;
The American military man, and Jesus Christ,
the only two;
So, salute the flag and thank a soldier, airman,
sailor, or marine;
But hit your knees in prayer,
praising Jesus Christ;
For only Jesus died upon the cross,
so you may have eternal life;
Nothing is as strong as the power of the cross;
