Good morning again from Pharr,Texas.
My sermon last Sunday was on Encouragement, with Ephesians 6:20 and Hebrews 3:12-14 as the text.
I was reading this week and read the following:
Back in 1980, Cheryl Prewitt Salem became Miss America (<<click here to find out what she overcame to be Miss America). Cheryl is a beautiful person on the outside but more importantly, her inner beauty radiates God’s love in her life. When she was four years old she often hung around her father’s small country store. Almost daily the milkman would visit, and she would follow him around as he lined the display cases with shiny bottles of milk. He always greeted her in the same way: “How’s my little Miss America?” At first she giggled, but by about age 11 she became very comfortable with this idea of becoming Miss America. Before long it was her childhood fantasy and teenage dream. It became a prayer and a solid goal. Later she did become Miss America. She traveled the world spreading goodwill and, because Cheryl is a deeply committed Christian, the gospel of Jesus Christ. It all started because God used a milkman to speak a word to this young and impressionable mind. It was embedded in her subconscious. Her prayer became a reality.
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. —Proverbs 18:21
Can God use your tongue to offer an affirming word to someone?
May God be blessed in your life today! Start each day by choosing to be an encouragement to others.
LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual encouragement, 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
