The Word
' ' .-V
by Dennis Putrow
Some blessings come in disguise.
They seem like troubles. The good
God always has good reasons for
what takes place in His world. Christ
is the leading example.
The crowds adored Jesus on what
we call Palm Sunday. They sang
Psalm 118:26, "Blessed is the ooe
who comes in the name of the Lord."
The religious leaders were outraged.
"Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
(Luke 19:39).
These same religious leaders were
so angry,they plotted to destroy Jesus.
The blessing seemed to turn into a
curse. Acts 2:23 interprets. "This man
delivered over by the predetermined
plan and foreknowledge of God, you
nailed to a cross by the hands of
godless men and put him to death."
The greatest act of treachery in
human history was the foremost bless-
ing. Godless men put Christ to death.
Once again, the Bible interprets.
"Christalso died for sins ooce and for
alL The just for the unjust, so that he
might bring us to God." (1 Peter
3:18). God accepted this sacrifice.
"God raised him up again, putting an
end to the agony of death" (Acts
2:24).
Evil becomes good. So it is with us,
ifweloveGod. "God causes all things
to work together for good to those
wholoveGod" (Romans 8:28). Christ
is the ultimate example. "Blessed is
the one who comes in the name of the
Lord."

If you are among the 28 percent of
today's women who chose to be a
homemaker over a career outside the
home, you should know that Social
Security {days an important role in
your life and that of your family. It's
a role you need to keep in mind as you
go about maintaining a comfortable
borne for your family.
If you choose to be a homemaker,
you are covered under Social Secu-
rity through your husband's work if
the marriage lasts 10 years. When the
family income is reduced because of
his retirement, death or disability,
you and your children may qualify
for Social Security benefits.
If your husband retires, you may
receive retirement benefits as early
as age 62. You may receive benefits
at any age if you have minor children
in your care receiving benefits.
As a widow, you may qualify for
Social Security benefits as early as
age 60. For example, if you take a
widow's benefit at the earliest pos-
sible age, age 60, it is reduced to 71.5
percent of the worker's benefit. But if
you take it at age 65, you get 100
percent of the deceased worker's ben-
efit
If you remarry, you should check
with Social Security to see if you can
get a higher benefit on your new
husband's account
Also as a widow, if you become
disabled between age 50 and 60, you
may qualify for disability benefits.
The disability must take place within
seven years of your husband's death,
or seven years of the last month you
received benefits as a mother.
Regardless of whether the mar-
riage lasts 10 years, your children
may be eligible for benefits at the
retirement death or disability of your
husband. The benefits last until they
reach age 18, or 19 if they arc still in
high school.
The important thing is that you
recognize the need to stay on top of
your Social Security protection. For
more information, Call Social Secu-
rity at its toll free number, 1-800-
772-1213. Ask for the booklet "So-
cial Security: What Every Woman
Should Know."
I.ke Good SHieplkera
*My sheep hear my voice, and
I know them, and they follow me,
and I give them eternal life, and
they shall never perish, and no one
shall snatch them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to
me, is greater than all, and no one
is able to snatch them out of the
Father's hand. I and the Father
are one.”
These beautiful words spoken by
Jesus in the book of St. John are
both comforting and reassuring to
those who follow the Good
Shepherd. Not only do God's people
have eternal life, they also know
that no one can snatch them out of
our Heavenly Father's hand There
is no such thing as a problem-free
life, and although each day brings
its own concerns and challenges,
enjoying and appreciating the many
good things that God has given to
us, and then trusting in Him when
problems do arise, will help make
us better followers of the Good
Shepherd.
I am the Good Shepherd.
The Good Shepherd
lays down His life
for the Sheep.
