Sunday's 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. We made a hospital visit yesterday with Jack Gordon as he had a procedure done; all went well and he will probably get to go home today.

Today's Bible Thought:

Your actions will speak much louder than any words you will ever say:

Shortly after World War II came to a close, Europe began picking up the pieces. Much of the Old Country had been ravaged by war and was in ruins. Perhaps the saddest sight of all was that of little orphaned children starving in the streets of those war-torn cities.

Early one chilly morning an American soldier was making his way back to the barracks in London. As he turned the corner in his jeep, he spotted a little lad with his nose pressed to the window of a pastry shop. Inside the cook was kneading dough for a fresh batch of doughnuts. The hungry boy stared in silence, watching every move. The soldier pulled his jeep to the curb, stopped, got out, and walked quietly over to where the little fellow was standing. Through the steamed-up window he could see the mouth-watering morsels as they were being pulled from the oven, piping hot. The boy salivated and released a slight groan as he watched the cook place them onto the glass-enclosed counter ever so carefully.

The soldier's heart went out to the nameless orphan as he stood beside him. "Son...would you like some of those?" The boy was startled.

"Oh, yeah...I would!"

The American stepped inside and bought a dozen, put them in a bag, and walked back to where the lad was standing in the foggy cold of the London morning. He smiled, held out the bag, and said simply: "Here you are." As he turned to walk away he felt a tug on his coat. He looked back and heard the child ask quietly:

"Mister. . . are you God?"

We are never more like God than when we give.

1 John 3:18 -" Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

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.  You are an encouragement to us.

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
