Sunday Is Coming

Good morning from Michigan,

We are visiting RV parks checking for opprotunities for summer preaching cites. We are, also, visiting friends we have met these past three years.  And thoroughly enjoying it.

Todays Bible Thought:

There was a soldier who was wounded in battle. The padre crept out and did what he could for him. He stayed with him when the remainder of the troops retreated. In the heat of the day he gave him water from his own water bottle, while he himself remained parched with thirst. In the night, when the chill frost came down, he covered the wounded man with his own coat, and finally wrapped him up in even more of his own clothes to save him from the cold. In the end the wounded man looked up at the padre. "Padre," he said, "You're a Christian?"

"I try to be," said the padre.

"Then," said the wounded man "if Christianity makes a man do for another man what you have done for me, tell me about it, because I want it."*

You are the only Jesus somebody knows. Christ lives in you and will use you to help heal this hurting world if you'll let Him. The priest was willing to become uncomfortable for the sake of a dying man. Sometimes I don't feel like going out of my way to reach out to someone and sometimes I close the door. There are other times when I realize that I represent Jesus to the world around me and that I touch someone not with my love but with His love. And it makes a difference in their life and mine.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Gal. 2:20

As always on behalf of LaVon and I, thank you for your continual 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.

Each of us should know what God wants us to do Paul said, "This one thing I do!" Know what it is that God wants you to do and do it with all your strength for His glory!

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

Hi Don, I really liked the "Padre" in your article. Trying to live like a "good" Christian isn't easy because we struggle with "self". Keep up the good work and we will keep praying for you and LaVon....Joel
