' Section A- Oakes Times, Thursday, January 2, 2014 5 Lynette Winters, Oakes Quilters Guild member, displays one of her projects to members of the guild. This is one of her quilts which she is giving to Quilts of Valor program, which donates quilts to wounded soldiers in ND. For more inCa about Quilts of Valor go to govf .org. Don't forget the quilters guild meets the third Thursday of the month at Main Street Quilters. From the Pd star's Desk Azariah set down the last stone'of the day as there was no longer enough light to see and the floor of the temple was nearly finished. He was old, ex- hausted and wished for an end, an end to the day, end to the project, and most of all an end to their life in BabylOn. The men of his crew trudged wearily to their quarters speaking few words even though it was the first time they could openly speak to each other that day. "We cannot do this much longer," Mishael muttered as they walked slowly. "How much longer will the Lord God have us suffer this exile?" "Only He knows," said Azariah, "and He has not yet told us." Kenaniah, the eldest said, "The Scriptures say a Deliverer will come, so we must trust The December gathering of Oakes Red Hats was held at Clines Cafd where Mindy Presler, from Art & Flowers shared her expertise in flower arranging. Each member went home with a beautiful holiday bouquet which they put together themselves. Thank you Mindy! Him and wait." Azariah stepped inside his hut and smelled the delicious aroma of food. Sitting down on the mat next'to his wife Miriam and their two boys, he lifted his eyes heavenward and said, "Let us pray. O God our Father, we thank You for this food that blesses our bodies. Come, Lord God and send Your Promised One. Save us, O Mer- ciful God. Come, Emmanuel and end our exile here, amen." The year was 539 BC and in less than a year God would answer the prayers of His people. Cyrus the Great had al- ready decided to allow the Israelites to return to their own land. But Azariah's prayer would be repeated over and over, sung and prayed throughout the coming centuries until Jesus of Naza- reth, the Promised One of God, would be born in Bethlehem and live to fulfill God's promises. Yet this song would not stop there. Early believers in Christ would con- tinue to pray for His promised second coming, that He would again be Em- manuel, their "God With Us." In the eighth century AD, an unknown monk would compose a Latin song, "Veni Emmanuel," in which he would plead for Christ's promised second return in glory. The song continues to this day in the Advent hymn we love, translated by Henry Sloane Coffin: "O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel That mourns in lowly exile herel un- til the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel." "Even so, come quickly, Lord Je- sus!" (Revelation 22:21) ~Rev. Robert L. Tasler Volunteering oppoi"!unities for retirees Today's retirees recognize that an active retirement tends to be more re- warding than simply sitting around the house, and that attitude is reflected in the vast number of retirees who vol- unteer with various nonprofit organi- zations and other programs across the globe. The following are a handful of volunteering opportunities for those retirees who want to give back and homes for people in need. It has a pro- gram titled "Care-A-Vanners" in which volunteers typically spend two weeks traveling around the United States and Canada in rented RVs (retirees who own RVs may be able to drive their own vehicles) building and restoring homes. Volunteers must pay their own way and bring along their own sup- plies, such as work shoes, gloves, tool tat for Humanity. Adventurous retirees who enjoy hitting the open road may find "Care-A-Vanners" matches their love of travel with their desire to give back. • Work with children Many retirees, especially those with-• out grandchildren or who live far away from their grandchildren, find volun- teering with children to be :especially m Church Directory ' make the most of their retirements, belts, and some tools (power tools are rewarg, Th; ppgounetgdvork " ....... • Halitat for Humanii-y- .............................. iypicaily providedby the local Habitat ...... with d are n/nr6Us!d !rees Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit for Humanity chapter), and free or low can choose a volunteering opportunity organization that builds and repairs cost RV parking is provided by Habi- where their own life experiences come in handy.

Simple ways to make re00,olutions stich: this time A new year often begins with good intentions, as thousands resolve to ' make positive changes in their lives. : Resolutions are easy to make when one is toasting at midnight and ready to take on the world. But resolutions can be harder to keep as the days turn into weeks and weeks become months. Researchers  the University of Minnesota found that 80 percent of resolution makers have given up by . Valentine's Day. A January 2012 poll conducted in England found that, of the 3,000 respondents, roughly three -quarters of them admitted they were no longer confident they would stick to their resolutions for the rest of the . month. There are several different reasons why resolutions fail, and recogniz- ing potential pitfalls can help people stick with their positive changes throughout the new year. The fol- lowing are a few ways to ensure your resolutions last the year. • Don't make an unrealistic resolu- tion. Losing weight is a popular reso- lution. Some resolve to drop dozens of pounds in an effort to completely transform their bodies. However, when the weight doesn't magically come off, it can be easy to grow dis- couraged. Weight loss is not instanta- neous, and healthy weight loss plans advocate gradual weight loss, such as 1 to 2 pounds per week. It can take several months to see a considerable difference if you're aiming to lose 50 pounds. Instead of setting such a lofty weight loss goal, establish in- cremental milestones with tangible dates. For example, your resolution may be to lose 10 pounds by March 1. That is an attainable goal. • Don't go it alone. You're more likely to have success with keep- ing a resolution if you have outside supportl Enlist a buddy to go to the gym with you or provide support as you attempt to quit smoking. Having a support system in place can moti- vate and inspire, knowing someone will be keeping tabs on you may instill enough anxiety to propel you through your resolutions. • Make resolutions for the right reasons. Making resolutions for the wrong reasons can be counterpro- ductive. If you want to lose weight for cosmetic reasons and not to im- prove your overall health, you may find your motivation waning as the weeks turn into months. Making res- olutions for the right reasons often provides ample motivation. • Avoid boring resolutions. Many people make boring resolutions that often focus on the mundane instead of more positive things. Resolutions need not be changes that profoundly alter your mental or physical well being. Making fun resolutions will probably help you stick to them. Per- haps you will resolve to spend more time with the kids or promise to try more adventurous activities. Maybe you decide it's time to pursue a hid- den passion, such as music or art. Enjoyable resolutions ar much easier to keep. • Avoid expensive resolutions. Be- fore making a resolution, reasearch how much a resolution might cost. Gym memberships or new hobbies may stretch your budget, and if you cannot afford a resolution, how can you keep it? If money is a concern, choose resolutions that are fiscally possible. • Keep resolutions private if you so prefer. Many people are compelled to share their resolutions with friends and family. However, that can lead to feelings of competition or animosity if someone is realizing goals before you. Feel free to keep your resolution private as you go through the pro- cess. Once you have met your goal; then you can share your success with others. • Don't give up too easily. Some people are up for a challenge and others are not. Resolutions typically require a little extra effort, especially in the early stages. Resolutions will not necessarily be easy to keep, but the longer you stick to a resolution the easier it becomes to make it a reality, so resist the temptation to throw in the towel too early.
