from our tribe to yours in August

Well around here things are changing. Just like the seasons change, so life does also. Ever growing. We got some wonderful news this week that we are being blessed with another grandchild. Yahoo!

Ministry is going well, there are enough hungry needy folks out there to keep us all busy for a long long time.

We are thankful for the time to first minister to Jesus.

who needs love ???

I know I do. I cannot get through my day without the knowing in my heart that I am loved.

Recently I found out that someone I loved and trusted, a very dear friend, had betrayed me. They had been deceiving me for years, they pretty much had a double life going. I don’t think there is any greater pain than to know you have been betrayed by someone you love.

The Lord said He would never leave us or forsake us. He will never ever betray us. Yet He was betrayed and took betrayal for us. That is what we hold onto. In times of trouble we hold onto the fact that He won’t do what others have done, even though it also happened to him. Yet we cannot understand any of that until we understand how much He loves us.

How can we know His love? By resting in His presence daily. If you knew which would be an easy day and which would be a hard day, you might be able to get away with only praying some days. But trust me, those hard times would sneak up on you unexpectedly anyway. Life is like that.

I need Jesus every morning even more than I need a cup of coffee.

When I spend time with Him first He prepares me. I can get through anything as long as I know He loves me, but I am human, I need to be reminded. Daily. And He tells me He loves me. Every time I stop to listen.

Behind bars

It amazes me how many folks look down on those behind bars. They often think all they can learn is salvation, or rather maybe they think that is all they need. The need discipleship, and encouragement, and truth is they often know more bible than those going in to “do their duty” by ministering to them. Yes they have sinned and yes been caught. But have we not all sinned?

If you ever get the opportunity to minister to those behind bars count it as a blessing. If your eyes are open you will learn more than you teach and God will show you things about your own walk. We are in this together and one is never greater than the other
