Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:28

Happy Mother’s Day!
May 10, 2026Tomorrow Is Mothers Day!
May 9, 2026
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. If you are fortunate to have your mother still with you, then honor her in a special way.
Mothers like to hear from their grown children. A phone call, a card or a gift to show your appreciation would be a good way to honor her.
If you are a husband and your children are small, think of a way you can honor your wife for blessing you with children. Have the children make her a special card or craft. Take her out to dinner or cook dinner for her.
If your mother has gone on to be with the Lord, then honor her memory by thanking the Lord for your mom.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Exodus 20:12
Trust God For The Increase
May 8, 2026
There are many days in ministry when we wonder if what we are doing is really making a difference. A kind word at an event, setting up a booth, praying with someone, or simply showing up faithfully may seem small in the moment. But 1 Corinthians 3:7 reminds us of something very important:
“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” — First Corinthians 3:7 KJV
God never asks us to produce the results — He asks us to be faithful. Some volunteers plant seeds, others water seeds already planted, but only God can touch a heart and bring true spiritual growth.
To every SOS Events volunteer and leader: never underestimate what God can do through your faithfulness. A smile, a conversation, a prayer, or a Gospel tract may be the very thing God uses to change someone’s eternity. Even when you cannot see the results, God is still working behind the scenes.
Keep serving. Keep praying. Keep planting seeds.
God gives the increase.
Brighten Someone’s Corner Today!
May 7, 2026
There is a little song “Brighten the Corner Where You Are”.
“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.
Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!”
Today why don’t you encourage someone with a phone call, text message, note or a simple smile may make someone’s day brighter. Maybe a single Mom, a lonely person, a friend who struggling with a problem or a stranger who needs a friendly greeting. You will be the one who gets a blessing along with the person you are encouraging

God’s Amazing Grace In Song
May 6, 2026
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home
Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
This is a favorite hymn for many people. Not sung in many churches anymore. I love the old hymns, do you?
Be A Fountain, Not A Drain
May 5, 2026
There is a simple quote that carries a powerful truth: Be a fountain, not a drain.
A fountain refreshes.
A drain takes away.
As believers, we have a choice each day. We can be the kind of person who pours life, encouragement, and hope into others—or we can become someone who constantly pulls the joy out of every room we enter.
In John chapter 4, Jesus met a woman at a well. She came carrying the weight of her past, the burden of her failures, and the emptiness of a thirsty soul. But after one conversation with Jesus, everything changed.
Jesus offered her something greater than the water in her bucket. He offered her living water.
“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” — John 4:14 KJV
That woman came to the well empty.
She left overflowing.
And what did she do next? She went and told others.
The woman who came needing became the woman who was pouring.
The one who came thirsty became a fountain.
That is what Jesus still does today.
When we spend time with Him, He fills us with His Word, His peace, His joy, and His Spirit. And when we are filled with Him, we begin to overflow into the lives of others.
A fountain encourages.
A fountain gives.
A fountain refreshes.
A fountain points others to Jesus.
This world has enough drains—enough negativity, criticism, and discouragement.
Today, ask the Lord to make you a fountain.
Let your words refresh.
Let your kindness flow.
Let your testimony point someone to the Savior.
Be a fountain, not a drain.
Will You Be A Worker In God’s Field?
May 4, 2026
There is a great need in ministry today—not just for workers, but for willing hearts. The fields are still white unto harvest, and the need for faithful volunteers and godly leaders has never been greater. SOS Events continues to go where people are, meeting them in everyday places with the hope of the Gospel. But this work takes people who are willing to pray, willing to serve, and willing to say “yes” when God calls.
Jesus reminds us in Matthew 9:37 & 38 to be people of simple obedience and honest commitment. When God stirs our hearts to serve, He is not looking for excuses or hesitation. He is looking for a willing “yes.” A yes to pray. A yes to lead. A yes to stand in the gap and help carry the Gospel to those who need it most.
Today, pray for SOS Events. Pray for more volunteers with compassionate hearts. Pray for leaders who will rise up with wisdom, courage, and a burden for souls. Pray for laborers who will answer the call with a simple and faithful “yes, Lord.”
The need is great, but our God is greater. May He stir hearts, raise up servants, and send forth laborers into His harvest.
Have A Blessed Sunday!
May 3, 2026
Sunday morning is a gentle reminder from the Lord to quiet our hearts and turn our eyes toward Him. Before the week begins and the noise of life rushes in, God gives us this moment to rest in His presence, to worship, and to remember His faithfulness.
No matter what this past week held, today is a fresh gift. His mercies are new this morning. His grace is enough for today. And His presence is the strength we need for whatever lies ahead.
Take a moment today to thank Him, trust Him, and rest in the peace only He can give.
“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24 KJV
Do You Need A New Heart?
May 2, 2026
When a person needs a heart transplant, it is because the old heart can no longer do what it was made to do. It may have carried them for years, but now it is weak, damaged, and unable to give life the way it should.
That is a beautiful picture of what God does for us spiritually.
Before Christ, we all have a heart problem—not the kind a surgeon can fix, but one only God can heal. Our hearts are naturally hardened by sin, burdened by pride, and unable to produce the life God desires in us.
But God, in His mercy, offers something miraculous: a new heart.
He does not simply patch up the old one. He does not offer a temporary fix. He gives a complete spiritual transplant. He removes the stony heart that has grown cold and hard, and in its place He gives a heart that is tender, alive, and responsive to Him.
Only God can perform that kind of surgery.
When He gives us a new heart, our desires begin to change. Our thoughts begin to change. What we once resisted, we now long for. What once felt heavy becomes a joy, because God has done an inward work that only He could do.
What a gift to know that the Lord is still in the business of changing hearts.
Ezekiel\ 36:26
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” KJV
Bluff Springs, Alabama
May 1, 2026
We are thankful to share a blessing from our Alabama SOS Team! Carl Norton recently set up SOS Events at Bluff Springs Baptist Church in Ashford, Alabama—the very church he grew up attending. What a joy to see God open the door for ministry in such a personal and meaningful place.
During the event, there was one salvation and one other spiritual decision.
One young girl trusted Christ as her Savior, and Carl was able to speak with her and go through the plan of salvation. Because she is only seven years old, he wisely encouraged her mother—who is already a believer—to continue talking with her and helping her grow in her understanding of what it means to follow Christ.
Another young lady also made a decision for Christ. When Carl asked her mother if they had a church home, she shared that they had just recently started attending Bluff Springs Baptist Church. Carl then made sure to speak with the pastor, who said he would follow up with the family and talk with her about taking the next step in baptism.
We rejoice over these precious decisions and thank the Lord for the faithful follow-up of both family and church. Please continue to pray for these two young lives—that they will grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” — Luke 15:10 KJV
