Happy?

May 30, 2017

Want to be happy in life? There is an old hymn that says it all; Trust and obey for there’s no other way, To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey. I have included the words because each verse gives us an answer for our problems.

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. 

When we walk with the Lord

  In the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way;

  While we do His good will,

  He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus: Trust and obey,

For there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus,

  But to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,

  Not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away;

  Not a doubt or a fear,

  Not a sigh or a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear,

  Not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly repay;

  Not a grief or a loss,

  Not a frown or a cross,

But is blest if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove

  The delights of His love,

Until all on the altar we lay;

  For the favor He shows,

  And the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

Then in fellowship sweet

  We will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;

  What He says we will do;

  Where He sends, we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.

Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Brighten Your Corner

May 22, 2017

There is a little song “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.

Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Monday Morning

May 15, 2017

Monday morning after a blessed and busy weekend. Maybe you are not looking forward to another work week. Remember that this is a day that the Lord has made, decide to rejoice in it. Attitude can make a big difference. I will rejoice. It is a decision.

Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers who are friends of SOS Events ministry. May God bless you and your family.

Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

True Friendship

May 12, 2017

To have faithful friends is one of the greatest blessings in life. The truest friend we can ever have is Jesus. He promised never to leave us…

Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

What Mother Wants

May 10, 2017

What do I want for Mother’s Day? I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever. Tell me about your job, your worries, your kids, your fur babies. I want you to continue sharing your life with me. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me, I don’t care. Hearing you laugh is music to me.
I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way I knew how. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work.                                                                                                                       Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don’t mind. In fact, I wouldn’t want it any other way.                                                                                                                                                                       I want you to spend your money making a better life for you and your family, I have the things I need. I want to see you happy and healthy. When you ask me what I want for Mother’s Day, I say “nothing” because you’ve already been giving me my gift all year. I want you.               Thanks for the post Ramona Thomas

Street of Gold

May 2, 2017

Looking for gold? Heaven’s streets are paved with it.

Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

Erie Canal

April 27, 2017

Blessings come in many ways. A email message, a visit or a phone call can really be an uplift to your day. Yesterday a blessing came to Carolyn Curtis via a message from her cousin, Joe, who she had not seen in many years. He wanted to find out more about SOS Events as he goes soul winning continually in Westen New York. He wants to have a booth along the Erie Canal. Many places along the canal have become tourist attractions. A great opportunity for soul winning in the summer as people gather to have picnics, boating and special events. What a joy to have a family member who has the same desire to win souls. Pray for Joe and his vision for a booth on the Erie Canal that will bring many soul to Christ.

Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
