Wish You Were Here!

July 11, 2026

Wish You Were Here!

Have you ever been on a wonderful vacation or visited a breathtaking place and found yourself saying, “I wish you were here!” There is something about experiencing joy that makes us want to share it with the people we love.

As Christians, there is an even greater place awaiting us. Jesus has promised to prepare a home for everyone who has trusted Him as Savior. Heaven will be more beautiful than anything we have ever seen on earth. There will be no sorrow, no pain, no tears—only the joy of being in the presence of our Lord forever.

As I think about Heaven, my heart echoes those familiar words: “I wish you were here.” I want every member of my family, every friend, every neighbor, and every person I meet to know the Lord Jesus Christ so they can spend eternity in Heaven. There is no greater invitation we can extend than to share the Gospel and tell others about God’s amazing gift of salvation.

Today, take a moment to pray for someone you love who does not yet know Christ. Then ask God to give you an opportunity to lovingly share the hope that is found in Jesus. One day, what a joy it will be to look around Heaven and see those we prayed for and witnessed to standing there with us.

Quote From Corrie ten Boom

July 9, 2026

“Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.”

Corrie was a woman who suffered terribly in a concentration camp in World War II. Her father and sister died from cruelty of prison guards.

She became well known after the war by writing and speaking of her experiences. Her faith in the Lord Jesus was what got her through those terrible times.

She realized that she must forgive the person who caused her so much pain and grief when she came face to face with him after one of her speeches.

This former prison guard stretched out his hand and asked her forgiveness. After several seconds she realized that she must with God’s help forgive him. She took his hand and felt God’s amazing love flow through her.

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. Mark 11:25&26

Daily Exercise

July 8, 2026

Most of us know that exercise isn’t always easy. Some days we don’t feel like walking, stretching, or doing the things that help keep our bodies healthy. It takes discipline and perseverance. Yet when we begin to see the results—greater strength, better health, and more energy—we’re thankful we didn’t give up.

Our spiritual life is much the same. Growing in our walk with the Lord doesn’t happen overnight. It requires spending time in God’s Word, talking with Him in prayer, and faithfully obeying what He teaches us. Some days it may seem difficult or routine, but every day we spend with the Lord strengthens our faith.

Just as physical exercise strengthens our muscles, daily time in the Bible strengthens our hearts. It prepares us for life’s challenges, helps us resist temptation, and draws us closer to the Savior. The greatest results are often seen over time as God molds us into the image of His Son.

Today, make time to exercise both your body and your faith. A healthy body is a blessing, but a heart that is growing stronger in Christ is a blessing that lasts for eternity.

Another 4th of July Blessing

July 7, 2026

While America celebrated the blessings of freedom this Fourth of July weekend, Heaven celebrated an even greater freedom.

Five precious people made the life-changing decision to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. There is no greater joy than knowing someone has trusted Christ and received the gift of eternal life.

What a privilege it is for SOS Events Ministry to go where people are, share the Gospel, and watch God work in hearts. We are so thankful that the Lord allows us to Serve Our Savior by telling others about His amazing love and salvation.

A special thank you to Patricia and Paul for volunteering. Your willingness to give your time, your faithful service, and your love for people make an eternal difference. We are truly grateful for your faithfulness.

We also rejoice over another Fourth of July blessing at the Santuck Flea Market in Alabama. God continues to open doors, and we praise Him for every opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

As we thank God for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, may we never forget the greatest freedom of all—the freedom found in Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection. Every soul that comes to know Him is a reminder that God’s work is still changing lives today.

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36 (KJV)

July 4th Blessings in Plant City, Florida

July 6, 2026

As we celebrated Independence Day in Plant City, Florida, we were reminded that while we are thankful for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, there is an even greater freedom found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Fourth of July was a wonderful day for SOS Events as our volunteers had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with many people. We rejoice that 31 individuals made decisions to follow the Lord. What a blessing to see hearts opened to God’s truth on a day when our nation celebrates freedom!

We thank God for every volunteer who faithfully served, every conversation that was shared, and every person who stopped to listen. Please pray that these 31 individuals will continue to grow in their faith, become grounded in God’s Word, and find a Bible-believing church where they can mature in their walk with Christ.

As we celebrate America’s freedom, let us never forget the greatest freedom of all—the freedom from sin that Jesus Christ purchased for us through His death, burial, and resurrection.

May God continue to bless America as we seek to honor Him, and may we never grow weary of sharing the Good News with those who need the hope of Christ.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.”
— Psalm 33:12 (KJV)

The Lord Is Worthy Of Our Praise!

July 5, 2026

This verse shows us several things.

First, the Lord, Jesus, is worthy of our worship. Not only did He give His life for us by dying on the cross, but He loves us and makes intercession for us to the Father when our enemy attacks us.

He created all things. This world is beautiful. Mountains, valleys, rivers, oceans, forests, deserts, and all kinds of animals. We could tell of so much beauty created by Him.

What is amazing, is that He has pleasure in the things He created. He gives us the opportunity to enjoy all the things He created also.

Today, look around. Really look around at the beauty God has created. Then praise Him for all of it, small or large.

Happy Birthday America

July 4, 2026

Today, as we celebrate 250 years of our nation’s history, we have much to be thankful for. America has been richly blessed with freedoms that many around the world can only dream about. We have the freedom to worship, to share the Gospel, to open God’s Word, and to tell others about the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

These blessings did not happen by accident. Throughout our history, God has shown His mercy and His hand of protection upon this nation. While America has certainly faced trials and made mistakes, the Lord has continued to bless us in countless ways.

As believers, we have a responsibility. If we want God’s continued blessing upon our homes, our churches, and our nation, we must put Him first in our lives. Revival does not begin in Washington—it begins in our own hearts. When we seek the Lord, obey His Word, and live for His glory, we become lights in a world that desperately needs Him.

On this Independence Day, let us thank God for those who have sacrificed to preserve our freedom. More importantly, let us thank Him for the greatest freedom of all—the freedom found in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and rose again so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life.

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, may we pray that our nation will once again honor God, stand upon His truth, and seek His wisdom. The future of America will always be brightest when we remember that our greatest hope is not found in government, wealth, or power, but in the Lord.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! May God continue to bless our nation as we seek to put Him first.
