We are in Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma set up and almost ready to start this new work. Yesterday was my birthday and God blessed me with so many great friends: some called, many of you sent a message on face book and some were here to celebrate with us. Let me just say my cup is overflowing. Thanks!!
I am told about this newspaper in England giving a reward for the best definition of what is a friend?
Thousands answered; the winner?
"A FRIEND IS ONE THAT COMES WHEN EVERYONE ELSE GOES."
They’re Cheering for YOU!
By Adrian Rogers
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” - Hebrews 12:1
A soft-spoken woman went to a high school football game. She’d been quiet the entire game until there was a fumble on the field. The substitute quarterback, a little scrawny kid, picked up the ball and started running past the other players toward the goal.
And this little lady exploded! She jumped up and said, “Run, baby, run! Run, baby, run!” He was her son.
That’s what the saints are saying, as they watch us on the playing field of life. They are cheering us on from the heavenly grandstand to “run with patience, the race that is set before us.”
Do you need a lift today? Imagine a grandstand the size of heaven cheering you on to victory!
We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial gifts. We are so grateful for your encouraging words and God reminds us that He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So Thank You.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
