Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

We are in Apache Junction, Arizona. We told them in Monday morning meeting that Church services will begin on the 21st of October at 10:00 a.m. and are still in need of someone to play the piano and people to sing in the choir. Please, keep us in your prayers.

In my reading this morning:

AN ATTITUDE FOR GRATITUDE

          NOW OR NEVER

A soldier was assigned the responsibility of driving a senator from the airport to a military installation. Between the baggage claim area and the vehicle he noticed an elderly lady struggling to pull her
suitcase behind her. He immediately went to her rescue and pulled the suitcase until they met her waiting family. He then paused to help a young mother secure her child in a stroller. After that he
helped a man who was having a difficult time opening the door to the restroom.


Impressed, the senator asked, “How is it that you see so many people who need help and immediately go to their rescue?”
After a moment of silence he replied quietly, “During my tour of duty in Vietnam it was my job to clear minefields. I never knew if my next step would be my last. It was there that I learned to get the most out of every moment because, in life, it’s now or never.”

Paul summed it up this way: “Share each other’s troubles and problems because if you do so you will obey the law of Christ.”

We, as Christians, have a responsibility to God and to anyone we know who is faced with a difficult situation that is beyond their ability to manage. It can be as simple as opening a door or as complex as helping them through the loss of a loved one. The size of the problem does not matter to God. It is the willingness of His children to help those in need.

Prayer:

We pray, Lord, for eyes that see the needs of others, ears that hear the cries of others, a heart that is open to others and hands that are willing to help others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
 

Scripture for Today: Galatians 6:2 - Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
 

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
