Words of Otsego

From her cooking to all the laundry sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done, even with 7 kids, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hang it out in the sun. A happy birthday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sending to you, I know you and Dad are celebrating too. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wish that in every way, you have a happy 91st birthday.

Can We Know Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Will? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his good, pleasing and perfect will.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Romans 12:2 (N.I.V.) Yes, we can know Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will for our lives. Lloyd John Ogilvie said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God created us with a will so that we could will to do His will.â&#x20AC;? First, we must be totally committed to Christ and desire to obey His will. Apostle Paul called this being â&#x20AC;&#x153;transformed by the renewing of your mind.â&#x20AC;? As believers, we are allowed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;test and approve what Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will isâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? While there are many ways God guides us, at the risk of sounding simplistic, I will list four avenues to knowing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;good, pleasing and perfect willâ&#x20AC;? for our lives. 1.The Bible â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathâ&#x20AC;? (Psalm 119:105). 2. Prayer â&#x20AC;&#x153;If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given himâ&#x20AC;? (James l: 5). 3.The Inspiration of the Holy Spirit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of Godâ&#x20AC;? (Romans 8:l4). â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś The sheep follow Him because they know His voiceâ&#x20AC;? (John l0:4). 4. Other People. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with themâ&#x20AC;? (Matthew l8:20). Prayer: Lord, teach me the joy of knowing and obeying your will. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name. Amen Please join us for worship this Sunday in a church where Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; love is lived. Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend & colleague of Rev.

10 REASONS TO SHOP LOCALLY 1. Local Economic Stimulus. When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than nationally owned, more money is kept in the community because locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms. Purchasing local helps grow other businesses as well as the local tax base. 2. Non Profits Receive Greater Support. Local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners. 3. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity The unique character of your local community is defined in large part by the businesses that reside there, and that plays a big factor in your overall satisfaction with where you live and the value of your home and property . 4. Environmental Impact Is Reduced. Small local businesses usually set up shop in the town/village center, providing a centralized variety that is much friendlier to a community's walk score than out of town shopping malls. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. 5. Most New Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses. Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally. Plus the more jobs you have in your local community the less people are going to have to commute which means more time and less traffic and pollution. 6. Customer Service Is Better. Local businesses often hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service. You are also going to see these people around town and they are less likely to blow you off or be rude because they have to face you day after day. 7. Local Business Owners Invest In Community. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community's welfare and future.

8. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs. Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and more efficiently utilize public services relative to chain stores. 9. Competition And Diversity Leads To More Consumer Choices. A marketplace of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. 10. You Matter More We talk a lot about exerting influence with your purchasing choices, or "voting with your wallet." It's a fact that businesses respond to their customers but your values and desires are much more influential to your local community businesses than the large big box stores. (permission to reprint from localfirst.com)

The Community Shoppers Guide will continue to support our community and local businesses. We ourselves are a third generation, locally owned and operated business, like most of the advertisers you see in our weekly issues. In the years since our first issue in 1945, we have witnessed drastic changes and shifts in the well being of the small town business. There are far too many empty buildings haunted by TOO MANY businesses past. Although it seems dire, collectively we can build our communities and make them stronger. Supporting local businesses brings more business. Which in turn, means less travel for the items you seek to purchase. With local support, businesses can give back to the communities they serve, making them a better place to live and work. You shop locally, the businesses give back, a great community is restored. A win, win it seems. To read more about going local check out Ecolocalizer, a great site that provides news, ideas and inspiration to "Think globally, act locally."
