Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalms 103:2-5
Very seldom is something personal written about on this website but today my heart is so full of thanksgiving to God for giving me 85 years of a wonderful life.
I am thankful for my salvation. The opportunity to serve Jesus for 65 of those years. Especially, SOS Events Ministry for the last 21 years.
I am thankful for my wonderful family that has grown from just me, an only child to over 100 immediate family. That includes children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 2 great, great grandchildren. This family always grows every year by adding new spouses and children.
I am so thankful for the many friends, some I have known for years and others are new.
Good health, home and most of all the promise of Heaven which gets closer for me every year.
Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. My heart overflows with gratitude. Carolyn Slater Curtis, Cofounder of SOS Events Ministry
God gave us the Pastor of our church to help us get through hard times. The Pastor officiates at our wedding, celebrates the birth of our children, prays with us in sickness and sorrows, and at the death of a loved one.
All the time having the same problems we have in his own family. He needs our prayers. Take a few minutes and pray for him today.
Pray he will have power of the Holy Spirit to preach the truth. Pray he will not be distracted by people or circumstances. Pray God will comfort him as he has the burden of his own but also takes the burdens of his whole congregation.
Most of all do not have roast preacher for lunch. Do not talk negatively about him or his family. Let us love our Pastor and show him our appreciation.
Thinking of something to encourage those who read this blog, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan. He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.
It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad. “In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own. “Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.
Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need.
SOS Events Ministry begins a new year today. SOS Events was begun 22 years ago. The official year begins June first.
God has been faithful. Over 80,000 people saved who are now on their way to Heaven when they die.
Hundreds Teams of volunteers in many of the USA States and growing. Faithful supporters, some who have supported the ministry even before it came into reality.
Pastors who love the ministry and encourage their congregation to be volunteers with SOS Events and support with mush needed funds.
A great office staff who give of their time and energy and go above and beyond everyday to make everything work smoothly.
That is just a few of the many blessings of how God has blessed SOS Events Ministry.
Thank you Lord for all the blessings. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the ministry.
Please pray that God will continue to bless as the New Year begins for SOS Events Ministry.
Memorial Day weekend, the SOS Events volunteers were ready to witness at the Bay Life Car Show in Brandon, Florida.
God sent people to the booth and 5 of them trusted Jesus as their Savior!
Praise the Lord for those who were saved and thanks to the volunteers who took time on a busy weekend to serve the Lord.
Romans 10:9 – That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Memorial Day weekend we honor our brave military veterans and active men and women who serve our Country to keep us free.
But today, the Lord’s day, let us remember Jesus death, burial and resurrection. We have freedom of eternal life because of Him. We have victory over death which is ultimate freedom.
