WEDNESDAY! The ole "hump" day!!!! Make your plans for the rest of the week, and the W/E, and include your God to be with you , in all you do, and do not just ask for Him to attend certain things, for invited or not, He will be there, but it is always best to do the invitation first, I know He likes it that way.. sooooo?
Libby and I are off on a delivery for "The Cross" Ministry today. We are headed to Mr. Jim Harp's house in Eastman , Ga., a 180 mile , round-trip. Jim is 89, and has given out over 800 crosses , since he has started in the past two years. He walked around until last summer , and then he said it got too hot, so he just set up some boxes, had his granddaughter write free on one, and set them in his yard, and folks ,they have come ,,,and picked him clean, so we are off to replant... please keep us in your prayers for the journey, and for Jim, who has given out more crosses, individually at ones home than any other... Keep up the good work , our friend. we salute you!
WORKING FOR THE LORD!
As I wrote the piece on Jim this morning,, it hit me again of how blessed I am to just to be able to serve the Lord in this way, of making of 'Crosses". It is the best of times when making them and then seeing them picked up, and then seeing those who pick them up, paint them, & distribute them and make their testimony to the Lord, and then hear the wonderful testimonies back of those who have taken one.
It is the feeling you get , that equals none other, when the work you do is directly for God, and for His glory, and all the credit is given to Him...
Preachers, Deacons, WMU, Missionaries, Sunday School Teachers, Members, Parents, all of you know what I mean, it is that little "flutter" of the heart..of God's personal visit at these times,, and I know all have felt it at one time in your life, and if you don't know what it looks like ,, ,, the next time you see your pastor in that pulpit,, just look right at his eyes, and you will see what I mean,,, that look can only come from doing God's bidding,, or at least that is the look in our pastors eyes, (which today is his birthday),, but what I am trying to say today,, "This nation will continue to be a great nation, and a free nation, ONLY , if we will work for God, stand for God, worship only God, and give thanks to Him for our days, our food,
OUR ALL!!!! WORK FOR HIM, NOT OURSELVES!
God, thank You for our all, and the ability to serve You, amen
