When Weary Comes Calling

June 25, 2026

There are days when we become weary. Sometimes it is physical. Our bodies simply grow tired from the demands of life. Other times it is mental. Worries, decisions, and responsibilities can leave us exhausted. Then there is spiritual weariness, when we feel discouraged, defeated, or wonder if our labor for the Lord is making a difference.

The wonderful news is that God understands every kind of weariness, and He has already provided the answer in His Word.

The Lord invites us to come to Him:

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

Notice that Jesus does not say we will never become weary. Instead, He promises rest when we come to Him. We find renewed strength through prayer, reading His Word, and trusting Him with every burden we carry.

If you are physically tired, ask God for the strength you need today. If your mind is filled with worry, remember that He is in control. If you are spiritually weary, do not quit. Keep serving, keep praying, and keep trusting the One who never grows weary.

Today, whatever kind of weariness you are experiencing, take it to the Lord. His strength is always greater than our weakness, and His promises never fail.

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 Weekend. Stay Safe!

God Gave Us This Day To Be Joyful

Trust God For The Increase

May 8, 2026

There are many days in ministry when we wonder if what we are doing is really making a difference. A kind word at an event, setting up a booth, praying with someone, or simply showing up faithfully may seem small in the moment. But 1 Corinthians 3:7 reminds us of something very important:

“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” — First Corinthians 3:7 KJV

God never asks us to produce the results — He asks us to be faithful. Some volunteers plant seeds, others water seeds already planted, but only God can touch a heart and bring true spiritual growth.

To every SOS Events volunteer and leader: never underestimate what God can do through your faithfulness. A smile, a conversation, a prayer, or a Gospel tract may be the very thing God uses to change someone’s eternity. Even when you cannot see the results, God is still working behind the scenes.

Keep serving. Keep praying. Keep planting seeds.

God gives the increase.

Brighten Someone’s Corner Today!

May 7, 2026

There is a little song “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”. 

“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the many duties ever near you now be true,
Brighten the corner where you are. 

Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!”

Today why don’t you encourage someone with a phone call, text message, note or a simple smile may make someone’s day brighter. Maybe a single Mom, a lonely person, a friend who struggling with a problem or a stranger who needs a friendly greeting. You will be the one who gets a blessing along with the person you are encouraging

Have A Blessed Sunday!

May 3, 2026

Sunday morning is a gentle reminder from the Lord to quiet our hearts and turn our eyes toward Him. Before the week begins and the noise of life rushes in, God gives us this moment to rest in His presence, to worship, and to remember His faithfulness.

No matter what this past week held, today is a fresh gift. His mercies are new this morning. His grace is enough for today. And His presence is the strength we need for whatever lies ahead.

Take a moment today to thank Him, trust Him, and rest in the peace only He can give.

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

The Joy Of Witnessing!

April 30, 2026

Once again God is blessing the weekly Plant City, Florida Flea Market with manybpeople trusting Jesus as their Savior at the SOS Events booth.

Thank you faithful volunteers! 

What a joy to be the person who witnesses to someone and that person decides to accept the Lord and leaves knowing they will spend eternity with Jesus.

If you are shy about witnessing, SOS Events has the answer. The “3 Things God Can Not Do” is an effective, non confrontational way to present the Gospel.

Let us help you have the joy of leading someone to the Lord

Sunday, A New Day. A New Week.

April 26, 2026

Sundays have a way of slowing us down and reminding us where our strength truly comes from. Before the week begins again, the Lord gives us this day to rest, reflect, and remember that we do not walk alone.

No matter what last week held—joys, burdens, victories, or disappointments—God is still faithful. His mercy is still new. His promises are still true. And His strength is still enough.

Today is a gift. A day to lift your eyes, quiet your heart, and worship the One who has carried you every step of the way. Let this Sunday be a gentle reminder that God is not only with you today—He is already waiting in every tomorrow.

Walk into this new week with peace in your heart and praise on your lips. The same God who kept you yesterday will lead you tomorrow.

Salvation Is Just The Beginning!

April 25, 2026

“While we are saved in an instant, it takes a lifetime to develop and work out what God is doing inside of us.”

Salvation is one of the greatest miracles we will ever experience. In a single moment, when we trust Christ, everything changes—our sins are forgiven, our eternity is secured, and we become children of God.

But that moment is just the beginning.

From that day forward, God begins a work inside of us. Sometimes it is gentle, like a seed quietly growing beneath the soil. Other times it is shaping and stretching, like a potter forming clay. There are seasons of joy and seasons of challenge, but all of it is part of His perfect plan.

We may not always understand what He is doing, but we can trust that He is working—patiently, faithfully, and lovingly—day by day.

So don’t be discouraged if you’re still growing. That’s exactly where God wants you to be.
