Count Your Blessings

November 22, 2014

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Refrain:
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
*Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
[*And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.]
Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—*money cannot buy [*wealth can never buy]
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

New Trainers

Gil and Kevin from New Port Richey, Fl came to the SOS office to be trained as trainers yesterday. Alice did a fine job working with them.
Someone from their church got a tract from the Plant City Farmers Market, took it to Kevin who called the office for tracts. Then he asked for a presentation at his church. Alice did the presentation and Kevin and Gil were impressed to come and be trained to get others involved soul winning at events.
There are many local events in the New Port Richey area which will now have SOS workers.
God is great and all the thanks and praise goes to Him for the blessings of new trainers. Please pray for them as they teach and bring more souls to Christ.

Ephesians 1:16
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Journey of Thankfulness

November 10, 2014

November is the time of year when we should be focusing on the things that we are thankful for. Everyday, in the blog the purpose this month is to call your attention to the ways you can be thankful.
As the day dawns each morning my thoughts immediately go to what am I thankful for today? What can I write that will cause others to Praise the Lord for all His blessings?
My heart has been filled with gratitude, joy and fullness of the presence of God.
God has a plan for each of our lives and one thing He says is to give thanks in all things. When we do, even if times are stressful or seemingly impossible He then gives that inner peace and joy the only a child of God can know.
It is still early in November and it is hard to wait until tomorrow to see what my Journey of thankfulness will bring to my heart. Come join me on the journey.

Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Answered Prayer

Answered prayer. SOS has been praying for a long time for some Hispanic people to join with us to win souls especially in Florida where there is a big Spanish population. On Saturday a Pastor and his wife of a Hispanic church in Lakeland came and worked in the booth at Auburndale. They are pictured here with 2 of the six converts. We are praising The Lord for answered prayer.
Please continue to pray with us that more Christian people from the Spanish community will join with SOS as there are many more opportunities available.
