Real Freedom!

June 19, 2026

True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want. Real liberty is found in knowing Jesus Christ and allowing His Spirit to guide our lives. Before salvation, we are bound by sin, fear, guilt, and the burdens of this world. But when we trust Christ as our Savior, He gives us freedom—freedom from condemnation, freedom to serve Him, and freedom to live with hope and purpose.

As Christians, we still face trials and difficulties, but the Spirit of God living within us gives us peace and strength that the world cannot provide. We are free to worship, free to pray, free to share the Gospel, and free to walk in obedience to the Lord.

Today, thank God for the liberty that comes through Christ. May we use that freedom not for ourselves, but to honor Him and point others to the Savior who sets people truly free.

A wonderful reminder, especially as we celebrate our freedoms as Americans, that the greatest freedom of all is found in Christ.

Rejoicing Through the Difficult Days

June 15, 2026

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24 (KJV)

There was a time in my life when this verse became more than just a Scripture—it became my daily lifeline. During one of the most difficult seasons I have ever faced, I learned that rejoicing is not always about celebrating great victories. Sometimes it is simply choosing to thank God for one blessing today.

What made a tremendous difference during that season was one of my fifth-grade students. This sweet child knew of my sorrow and, almost every day, would bring me something to remind me that there was still good in the world and reasons to be thankful. Sometimes it was a simple gift, a note, a flower, or just an encouraging thought. Those small acts of kindness became daily reminders of God’s love and care.

Looking back, I realize that God was using that young student to teach me an important lesson. When our hearts are heavy, we do not have to find a hundred reasons to rejoice. We only need to find one. Day by day, God provided that one reason through a caring child who helped me see His hand at work even in the midst of sorrow.

Psalm 118:24 reminds us that every day is a gift from God. Even when life is difficult, He gives us reasons to be thankful. When we focus on those blessings, our faith is strengthened, our perspective changes, and we are reminded that God is still in control.

Today, if you are facing a difficult season, ask the Lord to help you find one thing to rejoice in. It may be a friend, a kind word, a beautiful sunrise, or an unexpected blessing. That one reason may be exactly what God uses to carry you through the day.

Have a blessed Monday, and rejoice in the goodness of God!

Have A Blessed Sunday!

June 14, 2026

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

²Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

³Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

⁴Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

⁵For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations

Psalm 100 is a great Bible passage to start our week, our day and all the time.

God is good and we have so much to praise the LORD for and be grateful for everything HE has done for us

Wednesday Flea Market

June 11, 2026

What a blessing we experienced this Wednesday at the Plant City Farm & Flea Market in Plant City, Florida! As hundreds of people walked through the market looking for bargains and produce, God was at work doing something far more important—changing lives for eternity.

Our faithful SOS Events volunteers had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with many people throughout the day. We rejoice that 9 people trusted Jesus as their Savior.

What a reminder that every event, every conversation, and every Gospel tract can make an eternal difference.

The Plant City flea market has long been a gathering place for people from all walks of life, especially on Wednesdays when the market is bustling with vendors and visitors. Yet the greatest treasure found there this week was not something purchased—it was the gift of eternal life received through faith in Christ.

Please continue to pray for these new believers as they begin their spiritual journey. Pray also for our volunteers who faithfully return week after week to share the Good News. The harvest is still plentiful, and we are grateful for every opportunity God gives us to reach others.

Nine salvations mean that heaven rejoiced nine times on Wednesday! To God be the glory.

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Luke 15:7

Children!

June 10, 2026

One of God’s greatest blessings is family. As I spend time with my family, especially my small great-grandchildren, I am reminded how precious each generation is. Their laughter, curiosity, and joy bring warmth to my heart and remind me of God’s goodness. Time passes quickly, and these moments are gifts that should be treasured.

The Bible tells us that children are not merely a responsibility—they are a heritage from the Lord. They are part of the legacy God allows us to leave behind. As grandparents and great-grandparents, we have the privilege of sharing our faith, our love, and the stories of God’s faithfulness with those who follow us.

Today I thank the Lord for family, for the blessing of watching new generations grow, and for the opportunity to point them toward Christ. May we never take these precious moments for granted.

The laughter of little children is one of God’s sweetest reminders that His blessings continue from generation to generation.

The Family

June 8, 2026

Family is one of God’s greatest blessings. Through family we experience love, encouragement, support, and shared memories. Whether it is parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, or dear friends who have become like family, these relationships enrich our lives and remind us that we were created for fellowship.

Yet as wonderful as our earthly families are, there is an even greater family to which every believer belongs—the family of God. When we trust Christ as our Savior, we are adopted into God’s family and become brothers and sisters in Christ. Earthly families are precious, but they are temporary. Our relationship with God and His family is eternal.

The family of God spans every nation, generation, and background. One day, all who know Christ will be gathered together in heaven, united forever in His presence. What a joyful reunion that will be! Until then, we should cherish our earthly families while also investing in our spiritual family, encouraging one another and pointing others to Jesus.

KJV Verse

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;”— Ephesians 2:19 (KJV)

SOS Events Team From Germany!

June 5, 2026

Carolyn and Alice had the privilege of meeting with some of the SOS Team Members from Germany.

It was wonderful to see them again along with 2 new people.

God sent a godly pastor who offered to update the German “3 Things God CanNot Do“ and “ ABC’s of Salvation” card that they use instead of the regular tract.

What a blessing to have the Gospel spread in other countries along with the USA.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

I Have 2 Birthdays!

June 1, 2026

Today is my birthday, and I am thankful for every year that God has given me. Birthdays are special because they remind us of the gift of life. But as I reflect on this day, I am reminded of a birthday that is even more important than the day I was physically born.

In 1960, I experienced my “second birthday” when I trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior and was born again. That decision changed not only my life on earth but also my eternity. Physical birth gave me life in this world, but spiritual birth gave me eternal life through Jesus Christ.

When Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, He made it clear that being born again is not optional. He said:

“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.” (John 3:3 KJV)

Over the years, God has blessed me with family, friends, opportunities to serve, and the privilege of sharing the Gospel through SOS Events. There have been joys and sorrows, victories and challenges, but through it all, the Lord has remained faithful.

As Carolyn Curtis celebrates another birthday today, my greatest reason for rejoicing is not my age or the number of years behind me. It is the wonderful truth that in 1960 I became a child of God. That was the day my eternal life began.

If you know the date of your second birthday, thank God for it today. If you have never been born again, there is no better time than now to trust Christ as your Savior.

The best birthday anyone can celebrate is the day they were born into God’s family.

8 Decisions for Christ in Perrysburg, Ohio

May 30, 2026

Friday night was a wonderful evening at the Car Show in Perrysburg, Ohio, where Ed and Rhonda Fager faithfully represented SOS Events. God richly blessed the outreach as 8 people trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

One of the sweetest parts of the evening was seeing entire families stop by the SOS display. Young and old alike took time to hear the Gospel message and make decisions for Christ. What a joy it is to see generations being reached with the Good News!

Every salvation is a miracle, and we rejoice knowing that lives and eternal destinies were changed because volunteers were willing to serve and share the message of hope.

Please continue to pray for those who made decisions, that they will grow in their faith and become strong followers of Christ.

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth…” — Luke 15:7
