Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

We hear from some of you daily and you encourage us with your words. Thank you for loving us, praying for us and helping us to continue in our ministry. Last Sunday I had the opportunity to speak in a local church, Praise The Lord. Monday I preach to a group of Pastors in this area, again Praise The Lord.
 

Let me say thanks for your prayers:

THE LIMITS OF PRAYER

Young Eddie was saying grace before the family had dinner in a local restaurant. Heads were bowed and hands united around the table when he said, “Lord, thank You for the food that is coming. And Lord, I’ll really thank You a lot more if Mom would get us some ice cream!”
A woman sitting at the next table was heard to say, “Shame on that child. Kids just don’t know how to pray anymore. Asking God for ice cream is a disgrace.”
Someone in a booth overheard the woman and said, “Asking God for ice cream is a great prayer. Ice cream is good for the soul.”
When the ice cream was served, young Eddie took his bowl to the woman and said, “Here, ma’am. This is for you. Sometimes ice cream is good for the soul.”

Paul said, “Pray about everything!” Nothing is beyond everything – not even ice cream. As believers we need not worry about anything because we have a loving Heavenly Father Who knows about and
cares for our every need and want.

Here’s a great reminder from Peter: “Give all your worries and wants to God, for He cares for you.” If only we would accept the reality of God’s power and His unlimited concern for us, our prayers would be vastly different and even include “ice cream” sometimes.

What are you praying for today? Let me know so we can pray with you.

Scripture for Today:

1 Peter 5:7 - "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
What a great prayer for us to offer to God each day!

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
