Richville Rundown
Sheila Ward
Sorry I missed last week, but I was on a cruise and didn’t have internet and spotty phone service, so I was unable to send in my column. I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July.
To just think that our country is now 250 years old, we as Americans must be doing something right. People that talk about things wrong with our country need to go visit other countries outside the tourist areas where the standard of living is far below ours. With all our faults, we are so blessed to have all the freedoms that we take for granted.
The next Richville Volunteer Fire Department Bingo will be July 18, starting at 6:30 p.m. Also, they will be serving concessions. So, come out for a good time for a good cause.
The quarterly Historical Society meeting will be held on Sunday, July 26, at 2 p.m. at The Old Rockford School. Our guest speaker will be Larry Caver with the Old Autauga Historical Society.
His topic will be “Beginning: A Quest of your Family History.” The meeting is open to the public in addition to society members. Refreshments are furnished by members.
Also, our resource/reference room is now open on the last Wednesday of the month from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come visit and see the resources we have for your genealogy searches.
Providence Baptist will have a back-to-school kid’s day event on Saturday, August 1, with more details next week. Hard to believe that in less than five weeks school will be back in session. Seems like the summer has gone by faster this year!
This week my Bible verse is about God caring for us. Isaiah 41:10 reads, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
This verse offers us reassurance against fear and uncertainty. It is a reminder that as believers we do not need to be afraid because God is with us.
The word “dismayed” means overwhelmed or hopeless. So, no matter how hard a situation is, God is there to comfort and guide us. We need to rely on God’s limitless power and love when facing life’s challenges.
Remember, God is eternal, all powerful and ever present. Too often we assign God human limitations instead of allowing Him to work in our lives.
Pray, also, for others that have lost loved ones in our community, as well as those that are ill. Remember the shut-ins in our community, as well. They don’t just need our prayers, but can benefit from visits, also, even if it’s just a phone call.
