God Has Done Great Things!

February 15, 2021

Have you ever been in a situation that you thought was impossible?

Last Saturday was one of those situations. It was raining. SOS Events was supposed to set up a booth at a food giveaway in Turkey Creek, Florida.

When the team got there everything was in chaos. Because of the rain, there was no place to put up the tent. Instead of a regular set up we had to put our tables in a straight line, under an awning, in a narrow walkway.

It seemed impossible. That is not the way SOS Events works.

But, the team was there, obedient to what the Lord called them to do. Witness to the lost. Doing the best they could do and leave the results to the Lord.

God is faithful. He can work in impossible situations. And He did! 25 people trusted Jesus as their Savior. A record for that event!

Matthew 19:26 – But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

What a wonderful blessing from God’s Word. What more could anyone ask. To prosper in whatever we do and to have good health to be able to do it.

May God bless everyone who reads this.

What A Day to Rejoice!

January 30, 2021

In one of the worst times in my life, this verse and song got me through that difficult time.

I made a decision to find something to rejoice about, even if it was as small as being able to get out of bed and brush my hair or seeing a butterfly land on a flower.

God gave me things to be thankful for and He brought joy back into my life, one day at a time.

Today, as I look out my window and watch the sun rise, I rejoice in the day the Lord has made.

Join me in rejoicing.

Be Careful How You Speak!

January 25, 2021
Disney quote

The Bible tells us many times to be careful how we speak. Sometimes it is not what we say, it is how we say it.

Let us work on speaking kind words and edifying, not discouraging.

Ephesians 4:29 – Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers

May God Bless You Today!

Need Direction?

Looking For Something?

January 22, 2021

Maybe you are looking for love, success, peace, happiness or contentment and it seems to be out of your reach.

There is a place you can find all of these things and more.

It is not really a place, it’s a person, The Lord Jesus Christ. A relationship with Him will satisfy your needs no matter what the circumstances.

Start looking in the right direction.

Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Lamentations 3:25 – The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.

Opportunities

January 19, 2021

Witnessing to people is more difficult today than it has been in the past. Social distancing, masks and fear of contracting illness has kept us from talking to others.

Normal places to witness like a grocery store, waiting for an appointment or any public place has become almost impossible.

As a Christian, what can we do? Take advantage of every opportunity. Freely give out tracts. Put them in a restroom, in letters that you send out. Use email, phone calls or any form of communication to tell people about Jesus. If you are able to join SOS Events and go to an event to witness.

Be creative. Think of ways you can tell others about the gospel. It is our responsibility to be a witness for the Lord Jesus.

Just Passing Through

January 18, 2021

There is a Christian song, ” This World is Not My Home, I’m just passing through.” We as Christians are traveling through life in this world. Sometime we have joys, hardships and challenges. Just like traveling for vacation, business or family occasions, trips can have ups and downs. Once our trip is over and we return home we are happy that our travels are over.

The same holds true on our journey toward heaven. What a joy that will be when we finally reach our Heavenly home. So as we travel through life keep our destination in mind. Joy awaits us in Heaven.

John 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
