Stone! Piles of stone that needed to be spread out in front of the property. We tried to hire someone to come and spread it but no one was willing to work.
Tom has not been feeling well so he could not do it, so everyday for over a week I would go out and do my best but could only move about six buckets a day. We are in our 70’s and things are not as easy as they once were.
I was getting a little discouraged when one evening the phone rang.
One of my grandsons, Justin, said, “Grandma, The Lord put you on my heart, is there anything I can do for you.”
Once again, God showed me of His loving care for His children. Justin has 4 children and a full time job,so we rarely see him because he is a busy man.
Yesterday, he and his wife came over and he worked on that stone. Before noon everything was in place.
We are so thankful, first to The Holy Spirit for prompting Justin to call and then for the obedience and work of this grandson. We are blessed.
1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Several months ago, I spoke to my daughter’s Sunday School Class and gave each class member a few tracts. Yesterday one of the women in the class told my daughter this testimony.
“While out shopping, I saw two men sitting on a bench. They looked like they had some time, so I approached them and started to witness to them using the SOS tract 3 Things God Can Not Do. It is a simple easy way to tell someone of their need of salvation. One of the men were saved and the other put the tract in his pocket to make a decision later.”
It is a wonderful blessing to know that our labour is not in vain and His Word does not return void.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

“When preaching and private talk are not available, you need to have a tract ready….Get good striking tracts, or none at all. But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts.”
Charles Spurgeon
Are you in the habit of handing out tracts? Is it important? YES!
I felt my life was worthless, no one loved me and I decided to end my life by walking into Niagara Falls.
That morning I met with my boss, to finalize the work from the day before. He sensed that I was upset and prayed for me. As I was leaving he gave me a book and a tract.
I sat by the Falls, getting courage to jump in, and decided to read that tract.
It saved my life in two ways. I sincerely prayed the prayer on the back of that tract and immediately my life was changed. Jesus became my Savior on that day over 50 years ago.
God has used me in many ways since then. I now always have tracts in my purse, in the car available to give to someone. Carolyn Curtis
SOS Events tracts are attractive and simple. Check out the bookstore on our homepage.
Just a reminder if you have a need for prayer, call Tom 813-784-8242.
Acts 11:14
Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Tom had a cap come off his tooth and we had to make an unexpected dentist appointment. I was not too happy about going because it was the wrong time of day, quite a distance away and the traffic would be heavy. God had an appointment for us we did not know about.
On the rear window of our car is a sign that says, ” DO YOU KNOW THE 3 THINGS GOD CANNOT DO?” With our phone number.
On the way home from the dentist, our cell phone rang.
The man asked, “Can you tell me what are the “3 Things God Cannot Do?”
I answered him, 1. God can not lie. 2. God cannot change 3. God cannot let anyone into Heaven unless he is born again.”
Then I asked, “Are you 50, 75, or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?”
He was 100% sure. As the conversation continued he told me he is a pastor of a Spanish church, and was so excited about SOS Events ministry. He wants more information about SOS and we are excited because we need Spanish speaking people to help in events to spread the gospel.
Once again God showed me to be obedient to Him. He has plans for us that sometimes causes inconvenience, but if we trust Him, He brings a blessing.
1 Thessalonians 3:11
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

I have been unable to go outside for six weeks. I cannot go out in the heat and have been very sick. I have been praying how can I serve The Lord having all the problems I have. GOD has through the Bible, prayer and confirmation showed me that SOS should begin a prayer ministry. For the many hurting people anywhere who call for prayer .When people have the desire to serve and cannot function because of age (Start a prayer ministry) We will convert my office to a phone room to pray and encourage everyone we talk to. What a blessing to serve in air condition environment We will give mature older CHRISTIANS a opportunity to serve The Lord in the phone ministry. To connect with all who have Problems and troubles and no place to find the answer. We are so blessed that we have many still presenting the gospel which changes lives PRAY FOR THE ADDITIONAL OUT REACH TO THE LOST WHICH GIVES US WHO,NEED AIR CONDITION AND A SOFT CHAIR AND PHONE AND OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE LORD AND OPPORTUNITY TO GROW IN CHRIST.WHEN WE PRAYED AND PUT OUR PRAYER NUMBER 813-784-8242 ON OUR BLOG THREE MINUTES WE GOT A CALL FROM A PASTOR IN MISSISSIPPI WHO SAID I NEED PRAYER .

On the road there are many dangers. Going home from granddaughter’s wedding, we were stopped for over an hour because of a bad accident. A major inconvenience but we realized how great God is to bring 4 carloads of the family through that section of Highway safely.
Praising The Lord.
Proverbs 21:31
The horse is prepared against the day of battle:
but safety is of the Lord.

I received some of your fine materials at the Annual GARBC Conference about three weeks ago. I immediately put them to use in Chuuk, Micronesia. One of the Micronesian Bible School students really loved the “Three Things God Cannot Do” flip-chart. So did I! I wore the “I Have TWO Birthdays” button, and I had several opportunities to witness because of it.
Well, our mission is sending another team of dentist/doctors/nurses to Benin, West Africa from August 2, 2014. I would like to order two (2) of the “Three Things God Cannot Do” flip-chart.
This is an email from a dentist that was at the conference where the SOS staff had a display for the ministry. Once again God has far reaching plans for SOS to expand. Praise The Lord.
Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

In two weeks time our family has seven birthdays. The family celebrates in different ways. There are cards, gifts, special foods, parties and of course a birthday cake.
The children, teens and young adults are excited and looking forward to the future. The older ones look back on life and Thank The Lord that they have reached another year.
Our physical birthday is important to us and we celebrate, but more important is our second birthday. That is the day of our spiritual birth.
It is the day that determines our future in Heaven. The day we knew we were sinners and needed to be saved. The day when we asked Jesus to forgive our sins and become our Savior.
Thankfully, all seven of our family who had birthdays are saved and we will be reunited in Heaven someday.
Do you have 2 birthdays? If you are not sure please email and we will send you a tract explaining how you can be born again. Info@sosevents.org
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.

This morning while looking for something to share with those of you who follow the blog, I came across something that took me back to my childhood.
Looking in the history of hymns, there is one I remember singing in church as a child, “This Is My Father’s World”.
I was born and grew up in Lockport, NY and discovered that Maltbie Babcock, author of the hymn, was the Pastor of the Presbyterian church in Lockport when he wrote the hymn back in the 1890’s.
This is a beautiful old hymn that I have not heard since I was a child.
“This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget,
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world, The battle is not done,
Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and Heaven be one.”
Psalms 50:b
For the world is Mine, and the fulness thereof.
