Carolyn’s Thanks

November 23, 2016

Tomorrow is a day to give thanks. It’s not the turkey, parade or shopping. It is a day to Praise The Lord for His goodness. I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus. God has blessed in the past year in spite of many trials. I am thankful for all my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and in law family. God has given me the most loving caring family. I am thankful for my 2 sons that now reside in Heaven along and my dear husband, Tom, and many other family members. The pain of not having them here on earth can be excruciating but knowing we will be together again softens the pain. Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit who gives comfort in the dark times. Friends and workers in SOS are more than I can count. The encouragement from them has been a blessing. If I listed all the Praise to The Lord it would take a volume of chapters so I will just wish to all Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Friends

November 22, 2016

Give thanks to The Lord for good friends. What would we do without them. The best friend we can ever have is Jesus.

Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Thankful for Jesus

November 20, 2016

Another day to give thanks to God for the blessings He gives us. The biggest blessing is that He loves us so much He sent Jesus to be our Savior. Not only did Jesus die on the cross so we can be saved but He is our friend, guide, companion and He said He will never leave us or forsake us. With grateful heart I am thankful for Jesus.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Peace

Pray for peace to the only One who can give it, Jesus.

Two Birthdays

October 13, 2016

Today is one of my son’s birthday. It is wonderful to celebrate the day he was born, but there is a more important day that is celebrated in our family. That is the day that he was born again. We celebrate his life here on earth and that is wonderful, but the real joy is knowing that we will be able to spend eternity together.

Do you have two birthdays? The first birthday is the day you were born and the second birthday is the day that you trusted Jesus to be your Savior. If you do not know how to be born again please go to SOS homepage and scroll down to the ABC plan of salvation. Do what it says.Then fill out a contact form and we will send you materials to help you in your new life.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Transformation

October 4, 2016

Re-painting a room can transform it into something Beautiful. That is like a persons life, dark and then Jesus transforms us into new creations. 


2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Monday Morning

September 26, 2016

Monday morning!! Many of us will start our week by going to work, school or running errands. Whatever you do today, remember that worshiping and talking about Jesus isn’t just for Sunday. Today, witness when given the opportunity, pray without ceasing and worship the Lord in your heart whatever else you may be doing.

Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Jesus Paid It All

September 25, 2016

This hymn says it all. Written by Elvina Hall.

I hear the Savior say,

“Thy strength indeed is small;

Child of weakness, watch and pray,

Find in Me thine all in all.”

Refrain:

Jesus paid it all,

All to Him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain,

He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I

Whereby Thy grace to claim;

I’ll wash my garments white

In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

And now complete in Him,

My robe, His righteousness,

Close sheltered ’neath His side,

I am divinely blest.

Lord, now indeed I find

Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,

Can change the leper’s spots 

And melt the heart of stone.

When from my dying bed

My ransomed soul shall rise,

“Jesus died my soul to save,”

Shall rend the vaulted skies.

And when before the throne

I stand in Him complete,

I’ll lay my trophies down,

All down at Jesus’ feet.

I Peter 1:18&19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
