Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

I pray all is well with you today. We have had a few trials and also blessings this past week.

We had a concert for these campers. The music and testimonies were great; the attendance, not so great.

To top it off, LaVon's purse was stolen. Bummer... it had our camera in it.

The blessing: those that came to the concert enjoyed it very much. We're also trusting that whoever stole LaVon's purse, reads the New Testament and/or the tracts that were in it and their lives are changed.

We had the best day in attendance Sunday that we have had since we have been here. Even had to put out more chairs.

We also received a phone call from Arizona confirming our time to be there, starting the first of January.

More blessings: a couple called us and wanted to give some money to help buy a new camera.

The only thing that comes to mind is God is Good, all the time!

Have a great day, love you, pass it on,
Don

Then I read this today and would like to share it with you:

How Good God Is!
"The goodness of God endures continually." Psalm 52:1
Recommended Reading Job 36:1-7

Corrie Ten Boom once remarked about the goodness of God, saying "God is good when He sends good weather, but God was also good when He allowed my sister, Betsie, to starve to death in a German concentration camp." She remembered when she was discouraged and told her sister that she felt God had forgotten them. "No, Corrie," said Betsie, "He has not forgotten us. Remember His Word: ‘For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him'" (Psalm 103:11).* In that moment, Betsie taught Corrie about the reverential reflection of God's goodness, even in her darkest hour.
Often, we mistakenly believe that our circumstances reflect God's goodness and that if times are tough, God has turned away from us, but Scripture tells us that He"...is the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8); His goodness is certainly no exception.
Whether you are struggling through a low point in life or experiencing showers of blessing, take time to meditate on Scripture that tells of His goodness and love, for it will surely strengthen and sustain you.
