Sunday's Coming

Good morning, from the RGV,

Well, this is my last post from the Rio Grande Valley.  We will be leaving Monday.  Please keep us in your prayers. As you know, gas prices are headed to $4 a gallon, but I know God is still in control. I was reading this morning and we received an email from a friend that her husband just walked out on her and their children. Then I read this devotional from David Jeremiah:

Brick by Brick

Therefore we do not lose heart... the inward man is being renewed day by day. - 2 Corinthians 4:16

Thomas Carlyle labored with intensity on the first volume of a three-part study of the French Revolution. He felt it could be his greatest work. He loaned the manuscript to his friend John Stuart Mill to read, and Mill read it by the fire. One morning the maid, cleaning the room and seeing the scattered pages on the floor, threw them in the fire. When Carlyle learned his manuscript was burned to ash, he sank into abysmal depression. Some time later, still desolate, he saw a brick mason through the window. The man was standing on a scaffold, singing and whistling to himself as he built the wall of a house one brick at a time. Watching him, Carlyle decided he would write his book again, one page at a time. His history of the revolution became famous, and he is remembered as one of Scotland's literary giants.

Perhaps you've lost something very valuable to you. Don't give up. Tomorrow still holds a bright promise, and the Lord blesses faithful, plodding work. Let's take it step-by-step, day-by-day, and moment-by-moment.

Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine. - Daniel Whittle

LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: 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
