Monday we skipped the supper with our group and went down town. The city is very pretty at night and there was a concert in an old church so we decided to go, it was very nice. There were a half dozen string instruments, a trumpet, organ and soloist.Today is our last day, time flies it has been a good two weeks. I think we have handed out over 100,000 john romans plus they mailed 100,000 before we got here they also mailed around 20,000 invitations to the meeting tonight. People here know something is going on. The church had visitors both Wednesday and Sunday so that was a blessing.We will go out for a while today and then come back to prepare for this evening pray that people will come the auditorium has room for around a thousand we are excited to see what God will do.

Christian gratitude involves:
- recognizing the many benefits we've received from God and others (including those blessings that may come disguised as problems and difficulties)
- acknowledging God as the ultimate Giver of every good gift
- expressing appreciation to Him (and others) for those gifts
Undeniable guilt plus undeserved grace should equal unbridled gratitude.
Is the gratitude that flows out of your life
as abounding as the grace that has flowed
into your life?
Richard Baxter was a 17th century pastor who realized how a woman’s clothing could snare a man’s mind. He gave women this counsel: “You must walk among sinful persons as you would do with a candle among straw or gunpowder.”
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10b
| O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found And found in Thee alone, The peace, the joy I sought so long, The bliss till now unknown. I sighed for rest and happiness, I yearned for them, not Thee; But while I passed my Saviour by, His love laid hold of me. Now none but Christ can satisfy, None other name for me; There's love, and life, and lasting joy, Lord Jesus, found in Thee. --Author unknown |
