Give Thanks
April 24, 2016Catherine
April 8, 2016Catherine is one of our wonderful, faithful Senior Servants. She is now moving on to a new phase of her life. She is moving to North Carolina to be close to here daughter and we at SOS Events want to wish her well. Knowing her she will find a place in her new home that she can continue to work for the Lord.
I like to call her one of the 3 Musketeers because she always comes with two of her friends, Caroline and Sarah to work. These 3 ladies are amazing. In the summer when Senior Servants do not meet because of the heat and many go away for the summer, these ladies insist on coming and working anyway. She has been a blessing to SOS Events.
Catherine, we love you and you will be missed.
Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
True Friend
April 4, 2016Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
God has blessed SOS Events Ministry with many good friends. An example of unselfish friendship is David, who has been working on the SOS property for 10 or more years. He builds all the displays that are used in the ministry, repairs buildings and does maintenance on the office, workshop, printshop and grounds.
More than that, he has become a faithful friend in good times and times of hardship. Saturday morning there was no water. The Curtis home shares the property with the buildings of SOS Events Ministry and there was no one in the office or on property on the weekend. Carolyn discovered a water leak at the pump and did not know what to do. Tom, recovering from surgery, could not check it out so Tom called David and he immediately came to the rescue. Within a few minutes he discovered the problem and fixed it.
David may have had plans for the day, he may have wanted to rest or do something for himself but he did not hesitate to come quickly when he was needed. That is true friendship.
Wait on the Lord
April 2, 2016“I don’t understand it. The stint that I put in is nonviable. There is no blood going through it at all, but your leg is warm, there is no swelling, blood is flowing and your incisions are healing.” spoken by Tom’s surgeon this week.Then he went on to explain how over the months the little vessels have expanded and taken over the blood flow of the vein that has been removed. There are no main veins going to the lower leg and foot and still the circulation is improving.
Then the great statement from a doctor that is not a Christian. “Only God could have done that. He created your body to compensate for the loss.”
Sometimes we wonder why things happen and why it take so long to see results of prayer. It took months for those little vessels to expand. Ordinarily they would have burst like a balloon with too much air but instead they expanded. God is healing but on His timetable not ours. Waiting is always hard but God is in control.
Please pray for Tom that healing will complete. There is still several months of treatment and some plastic surgery in the future. Also, pray for this doctor and the plastic surgeon to be saved.
Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Salvations
March 30, 2016On Monday, Dena and Glen, faithful SOS Events workers, went to the Webster Flea Market in Florida and Five people were saved. What a blessing. Please pray for these new converts.
Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Grandchildren
March 28, 2016Grandchildren are a wonderful blessing from the Lord. Yesterday there were many family pictures posted on Facebook and other media of our family dressed for Easter. The children looked happy and excited. The little girls looked beautiful and the boys handsome. What a blessing that they could enjoy the freedom to worship at church, eat candy from their Easter baskets and enjoy time with their families doing fun things together.
Our world is changing and the future for the young ones is uncertain, but the one thing that is certain and unchanging is that each of the grandchildren will be with us in heaven if they trust Jesus as their Savior. (Thankfully most of them have already done that)
Proverbs 17:6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Serving Our Savior
March 24, 2016The Flea Market in Plant City, Fl on Wednesdays continues to have souls come to the Lord. Last week 16 people trusted Jesus as their Savior and yesterday 2 more came to Christ. What a wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord weekly.
Psalms 100:2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
10 Blessings
March 19, 2016God gives His children many blessings. The challenge for you today is to stop and name ten blessings the Lord has given you. It would be a good idea to do that daily. Sometimes we as Christians can be negative. Let’s look at the positive every day and our negativity will disappear.
My ten blessings for today are as follows:
1. Salvation (He took me out of the mire and placed me on solid ground)
2. The Bible (my guidebook for living)
3. Prayer (He hears and answers)
4. My spouse (my friend, companion, helper, lover)
5. Children (sons and daughters who love me and are there in times of joy and sorrow)
6. Grandchildren (the little ones make me smile and the older ones give me joy as they serve the Lord)
7. Great grandchildren (it is a blessing to see them born and watch them grow)
8. The promise of Heaven (many of my loved ones have gone on but I will see them again, glad reunion)
9. Friends (people who love me and stick by me through whatever happens, most of all they pray for me)
10. SOS Events ministry (many opportunities to see people come to Christ and a way I can serve the Lord)
These are only 10 of the many blessings God has given me. How about you?
Psalms 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
George Washington Quote
March 18, 2016God has blessed America with some great Presidents. Our country has been governed by men who may or may not have been born again Christians but they honored God and the principles set down in the Bible. Some of their quotes will be posted on the blog in the coming weeks.
George Washington the first USA President honored God in his writings, speeches and at public as well as private events. He was a great statesman and leader and brought the Country through the transition from a colony to an independent nation.
Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
230 Decisions
March 17, 2016The final total of decisions for Strawberry Festival is 230, men women, boys and girls who are now on their way to Heaven. They truly are a child of the King which was the theme of the booth this year.
Praise the Lord for all the opportunities He gives us to witness. This group is hearing the “3 Things God Can Not Do” from one of SOS Events Spanish workers.
