Rejoicing Through the Difficult Days

June 15, 2026

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24 (KJV)

There was a time in my life when this verse became more than just a Scripture—it became my daily lifeline. During one of the most difficult seasons I have ever faced, I learned that rejoicing is not always about celebrating great victories. Sometimes it is simply choosing to thank God for one blessing today.

What made a tremendous difference during that season was one of my fifth-grade students. This sweet child knew of my sorrow and, almost every day, would bring me something to remind me that there was still good in the world and reasons to be thankful. Sometimes it was a simple gift, a note, a flower, or just an encouraging thought. Those small acts of kindness became daily reminders of God’s love and care.

Looking back, I realize that God was using that young student to teach me an important lesson. When our hearts are heavy, we do not have to find a hundred reasons to rejoice. We only need to find one. Day by day, God provided that one reason through a caring child who helped me see His hand at work even in the midst of sorrow.

Psalm 118:24 reminds us that every day is a gift from God. Even when life is difficult, He gives us reasons to be thankful. When we focus on those blessings, our faith is strengthened, our perspective changes, and we are reminded that God is still in control.

Today, if you are facing a difficult season, ask the Lord to help you find one thing to rejoice in. It may be a friend, a kind word, a beautiful sunrise, or an unexpected blessing. That one reason may be exactly what God uses to carry you through the day.

Have a blessed Monday, and rejoice in the goodness of God!

Have A Blessed Sunday!

June 14, 2026


Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations

Psalm 100 is a great Bible passage to start our week, our day and all the time.

God is good and we have so much to praise the LORD for and be grateful for everything HE has done for us

SOS Events Car Drivers in Florida

June 13, 2026
Heath, Mark, Steve & Armando (who was unable to be there this Saturday)

Many people see the SOS Events displays at car shows, fairs, and community events, but they may never realize the work that takes place behind the scenes to make it all possible.

This Saturday, a day when there was no car show scheduled, Heath, Mark, & Steve, generously gave their time to come to the SOS Events property and inspect our equipment and the classic car. Their goal was simple: to make sure everything is ready and operating smoothly for future outreach opportunities.


We are especially grateful for Mark, who serves as the Team Leader and does an outstanding job coordinating the classic car ministry team. His leadership, dedication, and servant’s heart help keep things organized and moving forward.


Volunteers like these men remind us that ministry is not only what happens in front of the crowd. Much of God’s work is accomplished by faithful servants who quietly give their time, talents, and energy behind the scenes. Because of their efforts, SOS Events is able to continue sharing the Gospel and reaching people for Christ.


We thank Heath, Mark, Steve, and Armando for their commitment to the ministry and for their willingness to serve even on their day off. Their faithfulness is making an eternal difference.


“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)

Wednesday Flea Market

June 11, 2026

What a blessing we experienced this Wednesday at the Plant City Farm & Flea Market in Plant City, Florida! As hundreds of people walked through the market looking for bargains and produce, God was at work doing something far more important—changing lives for eternity.

Our faithful SOS Events volunteers had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with many people throughout the day. We rejoice that 9 people trusted Jesus as their Savior.

What a reminder that every event, every conversation, and every Gospel tract can make an eternal difference.

The Plant City flea market has long been a gathering place for people from all walks of life, especially on Wednesdays when the market is bustling with vendors and visitors.   Yet the greatest treasure found there this week was not something purchased—it was the gift of eternal life received through faith in Christ.

Please continue to pray for these new believers as they begin their spiritual journey. Pray also for our volunteers who faithfully return week after week to share the Good News. The harvest is still plentiful, and we are grateful for every opportunity God gives us to reach others.

Nine salvations mean that heaven rejoiced nine times on Wednesday! To God be the glory.

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Luke 15:7

Children!

June 10, 2026

One of God’s greatest blessings is family. As I spend time with my family, especially my small great-grandchildren, I am reminded how precious each generation is. Their laughter, curiosity, and joy bring warmth to my heart and remind me of God’s goodness. Time passes quickly, and these moments are gifts that should be treasured.

The Bible tells us that children are not merely a responsibility—they are a heritage from the Lord. They are part of the legacy God allows us to leave behind. As grandparents and great-grandparents, we have the privilege of sharing our faith, our love, and the stories of God’s faithfulness with those who follow us.

Today I thank the Lord for family, for the blessing of watching new generations grow, and for the opportunity to point them toward Christ. May we never take these precious moments for granted.


The laughter of little children is one of God’s sweetest reminders that His blessings continue from generation to generation.

America at 250: A Nation at a Crossroads!

June 9, 2026

As America approaches 250 years as a nation, it is a time to celebrate God’s blessings and to reflect on our future. Throughout our history, we have enjoyed freedoms, opportunities, and prosperity that many people around the world have never known. While our nation is not perfect, we can clearly see God’s hand of protection and provision over these many years.

Yet the Bible reminds us that every nation eventually faces a choice. Will it honor God and seek His wisdom, or will it turn away from Him and follow its own path? Throughout Scripture, nations that forgot God often experienced judgment, division, and the loss of the blessings they once enjoyed. Israel repeatedly prospered when it followed the Lord and suffered when it rebelled against Him.

The future of America will not be determined primarily by politicians, courts, or economic policies. It will be influenced by the hearts of its people. When believers pray, share the Gospel, live godly lives, and teach the next generation to love the Lord, they become a light in a dark world.

As Christians, our responsibility is not to live in fear but in faith. We should pray for our nation, support what is right, and remember that our ultimate hope is not in any earthly government but in God Himself. America’s next chapter is still being written, and God’s people have an important role to play in it.

The Family

June 8, 2026

Family is one of God’s greatest blessings. Through family we experience love, encouragement, support, and shared memories. Whether it is parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, or dear friends who have become like family, these relationships enrich our lives and remind us that we were created for fellowship.

Yet as wonderful as our earthly families are, there is an even greater family to which every believer belongs—the family of God. When we trust Christ as our Savior, we are adopted into God’s family and become brothers and sisters in Christ. Earthly families are precious, but they are temporary. Our relationship with God and His family is eternal.

The family of God spans every nation, generation, and background. One day, all who know Christ will be gathered together in heaven, united forever in His presence. What a joyful reunion that will be! Until then, we should cherish our earthly families while also investing in our spiritual family, encouraging one another and pointing others to Jesus.

KJV Verse

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;”— Ephesians 2:19 (KJV)

You Can Sing To The Lord When You Are Alone!

June 7, 2026

Do you ever sing praises to the Lord when you are alone?

We may sing along as we hear a song or hymn on the radio or other media source. We sing in church or in a group of other Christians, but do you sing to the Lord as worship when you are alone? Just because you love Him and worship Him.

If you never have done that, try it. Jesus delights in our worship from the heart.
