Sunday Is Coming

Good morning,

We are on the road again. I pray all is well with you today.

He said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." Matthew 9:37

Francis of Assisi was a wealthy, highborn man who lived hundreds of years ago. He felt that his life was incomplete and even though he had more than enough wealth he was a very unhappy man. One day while he was out riding he met a leper. The leper was loathsome and repulsive in the ugliness of his disease. Something moved Francis to dismount and fling his arms around this person. In the arms of Francis the leper's face changed to the face of Christ. Francis was never the same again.

Francis of Assisi spent the rest of his life serving his Lord Jesus Christ. He wrote these famous words as a prayer to God from the heart of a man who had a deep desire to be an instrument of God's will on this earth.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

Matthew 9:37 tells us there are many people who still need to know the peace, love, faith, hope, light and joy of Jesus Christ. Are you willing to put in the work necessary to tell these people about Jesus?

Doing service is a powerful way to open the heart and fulfill the soul. Those people who do service know how much joy they receive from giving to others. -- Margaret Paul


As always, on behalf of LaVon and I, thank you for your continued support and interest in our ministry by giving in many ways, by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living water with the world through the RV ministry.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
