Sunday's Coming

Good morning, from Kerrville,Tx.
Thanks again for your prayers and reply to last weeks devotional. We are so thankful to have such wonderful people in our lives who understand the ministry God has called us to.

My sermon last week was "Why go to Church?" with text  in Hebrews 10:24-25.  The main reason is, God commands us to go. Another reason is to encourage others and them to encourage you during times of trouble.

GOOD MISS MURPHY
Paul was a serious first grade student always striving to do his best. However, he had difficulty with his hearing and there were times when others became impatient with him. But his Sunday school teacher, Miss Murphy, was always kind and gracious, going out of her way to help him. One Sunday morning she lovingly taught him to recite the twenty-third Psalm from memory.

Hurrying home, he anxiously stood in front on his mother and repeated it perfectly, except for the last verse. Looking at his Mom with excitement and pride he said, Surely Good Miss Murphy shall follow me forever. He changed it to end with a hope and a prayer.

Scripture for Today:  Psalm 23:6 - "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever."

Everyone needs a Good Miss Murphy nearby when we are having difficulties with the issues of life. Someone who goes the extra mile in helping us solve our problems, give us a word of encouragement or a smile when we have little to be happy about. It is the Good Miss Murphys of God's Kingdom who show His love, give others a portion of His grace and show others what the love of Christ is about.

There's one more lesson here. All of us can be Good Miss Murphys. Acts of kindness and deeds of thoughtfulness are expressions of God's love that we can put on display every day if we are alert to others.

May God be blessed in your life today! Open your heart to the Word of the living God and the needs of those around you so that you may be an encouragement to them.

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
