Good Morning
We hear from some of you daily and you encourage us with your words. Thank you for loving us and helping us to continue in our ministry. Monday, I met with a group of Pastors here in Georgia. The sermon was encouraging and they also asked me to come back and preach to them in two weeks. Praise the Lord, I'll be in the pulpit again.
Let me say:
SOMEONE IS ALWAYS LISTENING
It was a luncheon designed to impress her friends from the neighborhood. Wanting to impress them she asked her five year old son, Jamie, to return thanks.
“Jamie,” she said politely, “will you please say grace?”
“Mommy, please, I don’t really know what to say,” he replied cautiously.
“Well, dear,” she said encouragingly, “just say what you heard Mommy say this morning.”
Bowing his head and folding his hands he began, “Good Lord, why did I invite all these dumb people to lunch today.”
Words can be a sword or a solace or even a weapon that leaves a wound. Words once spoken can never be retrieved or marked “Void.” Words take on a life of their own and will leave another person better or bruised, helped or hurt,encouraged or emptied.
King David wrote, Ps. 19:14 “May the words of my mouth...be pleasing to you, O Lord...” “may...the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you.”
David is asking God to approve his words and thoughts as though they were offerings brought to God’s very own altar and came from the depths of his soul.
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.
