The following excerpt is shared by Ed Engleking, Senior Executive Consultant for Stewardship Services of the Texas Methodist Foundation. Managing Money By The Book Much Obliged Posted: 28 Feb :40 PM PST Writer Fulton Oursler had vivid memories of an old woman named Anna who helped care for him as a child. When she sat down to eat she would say, Much obliged, dear Lord, for my vittles. Oursler wondered why she thanked God since she would get the food regardless of whether she gave thanks or not. It makes everything taste better to be thankful, Anna said. You know, it s a game an old preacher taught me to play. It s about looking for things to be thankful for. Like one day I was walking to the store to buy a loaf of bread. I look in all the windows. There are so many pretty clothes. But Anna, you can t afford to buy any of them! he interjected. Oh, I know, but I can play dolls with them. I can imagine your mom and sister all dressed up in them and I m thankful. Much obliged, dear Lord, for playing in an old lady s mind. Many years later, when Anna was dying, Oursler remembered standing by her bedside. Deep in pain, her old hands were knotted together in a desperate clutch. Poor old woman, he thought. What had she to be thankful for now? Just then, she opened her eyes and looked at him and said, Much obliged, dear Lord, for such fine friends. Being thankful is not about painting on a smile no matter what we re going through. According to the Reverend Dr. John Westerhoff, who tells Anna s story in a booklet called Grateful and Generous Hearts, we can all learn much from Anna, who viewed life as a gift. Taking nothing for granted, demanding nothing as her due, she recognized that we come into this world with nothing, we go out with nothing, and in between we are given all we have. While the busyness and responsibilities of our lives can easily obstruct our view, none of us has to look very far to find a reason to be thankful. Living with an attitude of thankfulness is honoring to God, good for the soul, and infectious. What are you thankful for? Try making a list of ten things the first ten that come to mind. Then give Anna s prayer a try: Much obliged, dear Lord. Much obliged. Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (MSG)

4 Page 3 Welcome June! Three years ago this month I wrote my first newsletter for Beach Treasures. Time sure flies when you are having fun! I can't believe it has already been three years. Well that's my attitude about most things in life anyway. As I was driving in for worship last Sunday morning, I was pondering all the wonderful things that were scheduled for that day: celebration of Pentecost - the birth of the Church; the six young people who were being confirmed and the one baptism; the third part of our series on what Holy Communion means to and for us; and, of course, the celebration brunch following the service to honor our youth. All exciting and spirit-filled events in the life of any church but especially OUR church. I was listening to radio station K-LOVE (KKLM 88.7) and a DJ said, "Don't take your great problems to God, but take your Great God to your problems." Well, I had to mull that over in my mind a while. Hummmmm. Great God versus great problems... We are entering what all churches refer to as the "lean months" of summer. Perhaps while we are out and about visiting family, friends, and seeing God's great creation, we need to apply that thought to our daily ponderings. Great God versus great problems. Be safe out there, let us know where and when you re going so we can keep you in prayer, and most of all remember our God is greater than all that life can throw at us. So smile, sing, laugh, live and love as only a beloved child of God can! Let's make the next three years as wonderfully joyful as the past three have been. Blessings and Shalom, Dana IITS Health Watch Our health report for April 2010: Prayers: We have celebrated several answered prayers and joys in worship, including safe travels, continuing recovery from addictions and depression, new employment, student graduations and accomplishments, visiting family, and additions to the praise team.
