Sunday's Coming

Good morning, from Waco,Texas.

We made it here Monday after a delay due to a blow out. It damaged the trailer but insurance will pay to have it repaired. The tire company is replacing all our RV tires at no cost. God Is Good!!

Every Day

Every day I need you Lord

But this day especially,

I need some extra strength

To face what ever is to be.

This day more than any day

I need to feel you near,

To fortify my courage

And to overcome my fear.

By myself, I cannot meet

The challenge of the hour,

There are times when humans help,

But we need a higher power

To assist us bear what must be borne,

and so dear Lord, I pray -

Hold on to my trembling hand

And be near me today.

This is the day the Lord has made, We will rejoice and be glad in it. PS. 118:24

May God be blessed in your life today!

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.

Sunday is coming!

Good morning, from Kerrville,Tx.

This is our final week here.  Monday, we will be on our way to visit family in three different locations for the next six weeks. It has been a relaxing time and a pleasure to have been here this summer. We know God has used us, so thanks again for all your prayers and support.

My sermon last week was Jesus Calms the Storms  - Luke 8:22-8:25

My Cup Has Overflowed

I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now.

But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,

and sometimes the going's tough.

But I've got loving ones all around me,

and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings,

and the mercies He's bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,

My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,

and the sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe,

about the tough rows I have hoed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,

When the way grows steep and rough.

I'll not ask for other blessings,

I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,

to help others bear their loads.

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I believe that there are some people who are going through some storms in their life. You are facing some difficulties that you can’t handle on your own. I want to encourage you to look to the One that can bring calm to the trouble sea of your life. He can take the darkest life and turn it into the brightest life one could ever live. He wants to take care of our problems for us, but we must rely on Him.

May God be blessed in your life today! Open your heart to the Word of the living God and the needs of those around you so that you may be an encouragement to them.

Sunday's Coming

Good morning, from Kerrville,Tx.
Thanks again for your prayers and reply to last weeks devotional. We are so thankful to have such wonderful people in our lives who understand the ministry God has called us to.

My sermon last week was "Why go to Church?" with text  in Hebrews 10:24-25.  The main reason is, God commands us to go. Another reason is to encourage others and them to encourage you during times of trouble.

GOOD MISS MURPHY
Paul was a serious first grade student always striving to do his best. However, he had difficulty with his hearing and there were times when others became impatient with him. But his Sunday school teacher, Miss Murphy, was always kind and gracious, going out of her way to help him. One Sunday morning she lovingly taught him to recite the twenty-third Psalm from memory.

Hurrying home, he anxiously stood in front on his mother and repeated it perfectly, except for the last verse. Looking at his Mom with excitement and pride he said, Surely Good Miss Murphy shall follow me forever. He changed it to end with a hope and a prayer.

Scripture for Today:  Psalm 23:6 - "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever."

Everyone needs a Good Miss Murphy nearby when we are having difficulties with the issues of life. Someone who goes the extra mile in helping us solve our problems, give us a word of encouragement or a smile when we have little to be happy about. It is the Good Miss Murphys of God's Kingdom who show His love, give others a portion of His grace and show others what the love of Christ is about.

There's one more lesson here. All of us can be Good Miss Murphys. Acts of kindness and deeds of thoughtfulness are expressions of God's love that we can put on display every day if we are alert to others.

May God be blessed in your life today! Open your heart to the Word of the living God and the needs of those around you so that you may be an encouragement to them.

Sunday's Coming!

Good morning, from Kerrville,Tx.

Our prayers are with you again this morning and special prayers for those of you who have shared request with us.Thank you for the updates on prayer request and thank you for praying for us. This has been an expensive summer; ever day comes another opprotunity to trust God. Last Sunday we found our mystery odor, thanks to Bob Quinn. It was the battery.  So after church, off to the store for a new one. Then, our commode broke. Yea! Emmitting yet another odor and we had to order a new one at a cost of $300. Maybe it will be here today. Earlier the microwave, fireplace, and air conditioner needed repair, new tires for the truck. WOW.  Count it all joy!!!

My sermon last week was The Powerful Word of God, the BIBLE! Heb. 4:12-13

Also Isa. 55:11:

“so is the word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

Whenever the Bible is taken seriously, changes in heart and society begin to take place.
1. The story has been told of a South Sea Islander who proudly displayed his Bible to a G.I. during World War II. “We’ve outgrown that sort of thing,” the soldier said. The native smiled back, “It’s a good thing we haven’t. If it weren’t for this book, you’d have been a meal by now!” (Ill. For Bib. Pr., 29).
2. C. S. Lewis, one of this century’s great Christian thinkers, was an agnostic, who wanted to disprove Christianity. He did so by going to the Bible and trying to prove it faulty. Instead of finding the errors that would discredit the Christian faith, he found the living God, and became an able defender of the faith.

How many of you have gone to the Scripture when:
a. you were faced with the death of a loved one?
b. you were discouraged to the point of giving up on life?
c. you needed direction for a decision that had to be made?

The Scripture penetrates our lives, touching us in our time of need.

May God be blessed in your life today! Open your heart to the Word of the living God.
