“It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me.” Fanny Crosby
“Redeemed” “Blessed Assurance” “Rescue the Perishing” and over 8000 other hymns, some that we have in our hymn books, were written by Fanny Crosby who was blinded at 6 weeks of age by an incompetent doctor.
Her life affected multitudes of people through her beautiful hymns and praises to God.
God took a tragedy and turned it into a testimony that still is being used in our lives today almost 200 years later.
Isaiah 42:16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

If you have been following this blog you know how we prayed for another Randy, and God sent us a Randy two weeks ago.
Then last week the phone rang and the man said, “Hi, my name is Randy and I want to join your ministry and take it back to Ohio.”
In the picture is Randy, his wife and another couple, he recruited.
Tom and I went to Webster Flea Market to train them and now SOS will have a team in Ohio.
We have now changed our prayer to, “Father, please send us some more men and women who have a passion for souls like Randy.”
God answers prayer specifically.
John 14:13-14
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Time is short. Pick up a newspaper or turn on T V and see the world is in chaos.
Jesus is coming soon. The time for witnessing will soon be over. Do not wait until it is too late to tell someone how to get to Heaven.
John 4:35
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Nobody can love you like God can. Whether your weight, height, mood, age, environment change, He always sees you for who you are and He loves you.

“Do you know the 3 Things God Can Not Do?”
This question brings curiosity to many people. It could be in a line at
a grocery store, post office or anywhere where people gather. SOS uses it effectively at events, along with a visual display.
On one occasion, a lady in her late 60’s stopped by the booth at an event.
She wanted to know the three things, then was asked the question, “Are you 50, 75, or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?
She was not sure, so she was escorted to a table in the back of the booth.
“What is your name?” she was asked.
“Ruby,” was her reply.
“Do you know how special you are to God?”, the soul winner told her, then quoted the Bible verse about rubies. The soul winner explained the Gospel using the ABC’s of salvation.
Ruby trusted The Lord as her Savior and now is that virtuous woman God speaks about in Proverbs.
( If you do not know the “3 things” or the ABC’s sign into the training videos on the tab on the home page)
Proverbs 31:10
Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies.

If you have never heard the song, ” Brighten the Corner Where You Are,” try to find someone who can sing it to you. It has a catchy tune and is a happy song with a good message.
Most of the songs and hymns written years ago came from problems or tragedy. Ina Duley Ogden was invited to speak at a great Sunday School Convention, but instead was called home to take care of her father who had been injured in an accident.
In her disappointment she decided to be a blessing to just the people around her, especially her father and wrote the words to the song.
“Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do,/ Do not wait to shed your light afar,/ To the many duties ever near you now be true,/ Brighten the corner where you are.”
Her song became so popular that it opened all of Billy Sundays revivals for over 22 years and tragedy blessed not hundreds of people but thousands.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
