Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

This is our last day in Oklahoma. We leave in the morning for Texas and then on to Arizona later in the month. Thank you for your prayers, emails and support financially.

This past week has truly been a hard one. So many of you our hurting. Several have lost love ones. This week, I have felt helpless. What can you do when you know that someone you love is hurting? You listen. You pray. You talk. You enlist others to pray. You spend time with them, if you can. (In our case, we are too far from you to do that.) You feel helpless.

Then, you realize you have done and are doing everything within your power. Then, you leave them with the Lord. You ask Him to do what only He can do. You trust Him. You believe that even though you are helpless, He is not. He can do "Immeasurably more than all you can ask or imagine." You let Him.

With God, our words have power. With God, our listening makes a difference. With God, our presence means something. With God, we are not helpless.

Know we are praying with you.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don

God certainly used you and your message to minister to me today. My wrist is hurting more and more - it hadn't much at all after I got the first cast on. I am concerned about the pain and -- it hurts!

God bless your day.

Thank you so much for all the prayers you have said on behalf of us. Thank you for your very special friendship. We love you and can't wait to be around you again in the next month. Having you in our lives has enriched our faith in God. That is very precious to us.
