SETTLING FOR LESS THAN IS PROMISED
 
Dear Snyder's Church Family and Friends,
 
This coming Sunday is Mother's Day and we at Snyder's are blessed
to have Marsha Snyder from the Dellville Church as our special speaker. The men of the church will serve as the "choir" singing a special selection to honor mother's.
Jeff will lead the Children's Moment.
We shall sing "Precious Lord Take My Hand"; "It Is No Secret";
"I Am Thine O Lord" and other music selected for the service.
 
Charles Schultz, the artist who provides us with the Peanuts cartoons, is one of my favorite theologians! In one of his cartoon series, he has Snoopy, that hound of heaven, saying to Woodstock, that would-be bird of paradise: "Someday, Woodstock is going to be a great eagle."
Then in the next frame he says, "He is going to soar thousands of feet above the ground." Woodstock takes off into the air and as Snoopy looks on he sees the bird upside down whirling around crazily. So he has second thoughts. In the third frame Snoopy says, "Well, maybe hundreds of feet above the ground...." but hardly had the words gotten out of his mouth when Woodstock plummets to the ground and lies there, on his back looking dazed, and Snoopy has to conclude, "Maybe he will be one of those eagles who just walks around."
 
Isn't it amazing - how quickly we settle for less than is promised, and for far less than is possible?
 
We at Snyder's Church want to help- you to become all that God has planned for you!
May you truly be blessed today and may you truly be a blessing to others today!
Know that God loves you very much and so do we.
See you in Church this Sunday morning. 
Pastor Bill
