The storm has passed our area. The electric companies worked tirelessly to restore power to the thousands of Floridians who lost electricity, cleanup of downed trees and flooded homes are now in progress. Waking this morning to sunshine and a new day there is praise in my heart to the Lord for safety and His wonderful mercy and care. The quote by Govenor Rick Scott is so true, “You can rebuild a home. You can rebuild property,” Scott said. “You cannot rebuild a life.”
One man did loose his life in the storm, and we sorrow for the loss of life, but it could have been so much worse. So if you are working to clean the debris and mess left behind, take a moment to thank the Lord for His mercy and look at the sunshine after the storm. Joy comes in the morning.
Psalms 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Tom Curtis, founder of SOS Events Ministry, kept a daily journal with prayer requests and his thoughts about family, friends and Christian living. These journals are a blessing as we now have in his own handwriting his prayers and goals for the ministry.
In a journal from the year 2000, before SOS Events was founded, there were two words he used to describe a successful Christian, especially a soul winner. They must be humble and committed. Traits that he displayed in his own life.
Let us take a lesson from a man who loved the Lord with all his heart and not only wrote encouraging words but lived them daily.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Sometimes aggravation can turn into a blessing. About a month ago Carolyn won a young man to the Lord named, Carlos. He is a Service man for SOS Events Wi-Fi system that we use for the office as well as the home on the property.
After a severe storm last week the Wi-Fi system was not working well so we called for service. The service man who came was the same Carlos and Carolyn was able to talk with him some more about his new faith and she gave him the book 101 Salvation Stories. He was happy to receive it. It was such a blessing to see him again and know that he is growing in his Christian faith.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Sometimes as Christians we have to do things that are really hard. Standing for your convictions when everyone else is going along with the crowd. Telling the truth when it would be easier to not say anything to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. Witnessing to a close friend or relative when you know they will reject the gospel. Forgiving someone who has seriously hurt you.
These are just a few things that we may be called on to do. But we have the power and strength to do whatever is hard because God is with us in every situation and will bless our efforts when we follow Biblical principles. If we pray about those hard things and trust God to help us do the right thing, He does give the power and strength to do them.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

“God Will Carry You Through” is the title of a book by Max Lucado. Not necessarily one of my favorite authors but I found this book on my bookshelf with a personal note from my husband, Tom Curtis, who went home to be with the Lord one month ago today. (This book sat on the shelf for 2 years and I never picked it up until today)
How special and wonderful is the Lord. The note said, “The Lord showed me this book. Read it before you write the blog. I love you. Tom”
How perfect. The blessing is to know That God will carry me through and He will carry you through each problem and difficulty in life. The Bible has so many wonderful verses to help in every situation. All we have to do is trust Him and claim the promises in His Word.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Going through some papers of Founder of SOS Events, Tom Curtis, I found this statement:
“You are not pleasing God if you are not bringing people to Christ.”
The question is, Are you pleasing God? Every Christian should have a desire to witness and win souls.
Tom Curtis was a great example to all of us to be soul winners. The last day in the hospital and only 6 days before he went to Heaven he won 2 doctors and a nurse to the Lord and had a steady stream of hospital staff come to bid him goodbye and tell him that they had been saved through his testimony and witness.
Proverbs 14:25 A true witness delivereth souls:
