Sunday's Coming

Good morning, once again, from sunny Arizona,

I pray all is well with you and your families. Please, tell us how we can pray for you today.

The ministry here is still very rewarding. We had a tremendous service on Easter. Even with so many gone back to their homes, we still had 166 in church.

We have two more services, then we are off to Oklahoma for the summer and looking forward catching up with so many of you.

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and that God will use us even as we are on the road.
Thanks again for your prayers, phone calls and especially for your monetary support... without either of these we could not continue.

Have a great day,
Love you,
Pass it on,

Don

Making the Most of Today
This devotional was written by Jim Burns

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. —Psalm 118:24

Today you were handed from God, 24 hours to live life to the fullest. That's 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. Sometimes we get so busy and distracted we miss the fact that each rising, sun brings new opportunities and adventures on this planet we call Earth. God gives us one new day at a time so that we aren't distracted by the future or paralyzed by the past. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Make the most of today. Enjoy God's gift to you. You can accomplish a great deal with the 1440 minutes in a day. Today, stop and take advantage of all that God has provided for you. Here are a few suggestions:

Tell someone you love him/her.
Write a kind note to a friend.
Stop and enjoy the sunset.
Take 20 minutes of the 1440 you have today and talk to God.
Memorize this verse: "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

I'm so glad Yahoo let you post it today. I look forward to this. Praise the Lord for the 166 in attendance on Easter Sunday. They were the 166 lucky ones that got to be there to hear another of Don's wonderful sermon. You are always in my nightly prayers and hopefully we are in yours. Claudia

Don, you always say the right things at the right times. I love you for that. We are going thru trials but at the same time are seeing the Lord work in our children's lives. We are looking forward to our stay in Colorado. It will be a spiritual time, I am sure. Our prayers are for safe travels and a joyous reunion with family and friends.
