EXHORTATION 💕
💝 HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF ATTRACTIVE
Living creatures were made with the inert desire to reproduce. By God’s design, most creatures need a partner to do so. "He created them male and female".
However, man does not have the feathers of a peacock nor the bright colours of some primates so sometimes attracting a partner can be challenging…
Notwithstanding the fact that people are attracted by different attributes and in varying ways, we can develop spiritual, physical, mental and social characteristics that can be attractive to the complimentary sex.
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour from the Lord.
In this message we will learn how to attract a “good thing” and be an
attractive “good thing” in 4 categories:
Socially
Spiritually
Physically
Mentally
'A genuine connection with God in a down-to-earth practical way motivates others to trust you'
Posture is a very important characteristic of an attractive person.
POSTURE:
o Position
o
Open posture
o
Smile
o
Territory
o
Undivided attention
o
Responding
o Eye Contact
"Let us allow God to make us genuinely the most attractive version of our 'true selves'."

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
🙌🏾 RAE-ANN
We give God thanks that He guided us to a scholarship opportunity for the next semester at Bergen Community College. We were told previously that there are no such opportunities for international students. Rae-Ann has applied and we now await an answer. Let's thank God for this opportunity with the hope that it will bear fruit.
As you know Rae-Ann is by her other aunt, Tessa. This seems to be a timely move by God since her 14 year old cousin Naomi, is at the stage where she can benefit with having the particular example and guidance of a big sister.
Glory to God! Please remember them in your prayer.
Rae-Ann and Naomi working together (Don't be dismayed if you will soon have to wonder who is the "big cousin") ... Hmm "Some "hand me ups" might well be in order... 😀
🙌🏾 GRANDDAD
Lydia's father has been moving from strength to strength. Not quite yet his former self as I am not getting any buffs. However he is improving.
🙌🏾 CHURCH REOPENS
Our churches are now being allowed to reopen and we are up to one and a half hour meetings.
PRAYER 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
🙏🏾REUBEN
Reuben continues to develop his sound engineering skills while still on the hunt for a job. The Elders in one of our churches has given him an opportunity to set up a sound system for the church.
He is also attempting to acquire some additional tools and computer apps such as "Final cut Pro" to assist in a more effective way with the video production for our online ministry.
Please remember him in prayer.
🙏🏾 CAR
Still no headway at this time with the Comptroller of accounts. In the meantime we are attempting to get the car sold.
FOR SALE TT$9,000.00 Negotiable. The rest of the car is in good condition.
2007 Toyota Yaris
1300 cc
Please spread the word and remember us in prayer in this regard.
🙏🏾 COMPUTER ISSUES
One of my main tools in the ministry, my computer, is currently limping along. Thank God that I am still able to use it. I tried to close it too quickly and the screen separated from the lid. I was able to pull it together but it is no longer operating as it should.
🙏🏾 PRISON MINISTRY
Due to an increase in Covid-19 cases within the prison system we are locked out again and therefore have to await a further verdict to get in again.
Please remember this in prayer.
🙏🏾 HAMSTER PROBLEMS
You may remember our midnight funeral in May 2020. We thought that we may have had another, which may have caused a little heartache in East Orange New Jersey.
Turned out that it was an abscess on Vite's left eye so "granny Lydia" under instructions from the Vet is administering medication and nursing him back to health.
Nursing duties to comfort a heart that is miles away

During the "Church yard fellowship" after church, a sister wearing a very dark pair of shades 😎 due to eye surgery, made the disclosure. "Brother Brown, you were well dressed but I could not help noticing that you had no shoes..." (The eye specialist did a wonderful job indeed! Glory to God! And my test worked wonderfully!)

How beautiful upon the mountains
Are the feet of him who brings good news,
Who proclaims peace,
Who brings glad tidings of good things,
Who proclaims salvation,
