When you connect with a friend or two or three 
that friendship becomes a bond for life. Maybe even
forever.

You remember when you were a kid and you had a friend that
was your bestest of friends. You ate together, laughed together
and even fought together or even each other. But you always
made up and life was good again. It was true friendship. Nothing
could break that bond, nothing at all.

Now, if you were fortunate enough to spend time throughout your
teen years it even got better. More time doing life together just forged
a bond of steel. Oh, there were times when you felt like this friendship
will last forever. Nothing would ever tear us apart.

Then that painful day arrived. You over heard your parents talk
about a move they were planning for your whole family. And that
was the beginning of the end. Your heart sank and you had nothing
else to do but cry. What would ever happen to my friend?

The day of reality finally came and all you could do was cry. Sure you had
to pack your boxes but the tears just flowed like a river. Your mind was
filled with all of the memories of your times together. It was so sweet,
so powerful. Now it is quickly slipping away. What will you do?

One day, thirty years later you make plans for your trip back to your old
neighborhood. The thoughts of your youthful friends begin to flash across your
mind. You wondered about your buddy. Is he as grey as you are now? You haven't
seen him since the last funeral of a mutual friend some 9 years ago. This is a
holiday weekend and you wonder will I see him again? Will I share in that
precious moment once again? I hope so.

A Few Flowers to Brighten Her Day

Everyone needs to have the light turned up on their day.
You know what I mean? It gets pretty dark when people act
crazy and say crazy things. You wonder what planet they
came from. So, what they really need is a reality check.
More about that later.

Determine that this silly, unexpected stuff will not define
the rest of your day.

Here comes the day saver.

A bundle of flowers, sent from someone who loves you will
swoop in and brighten up any ones day right? Send, or take your
loved one some sunshine in a small bouquet of flowers and
really turn up the light on a day that is headed toward the
darkness. You will be glad you did and so will they.

Brighten My Day!

They Are So Precious!

 

What Are Our Questions?

What’s on our minds? What do we really

think about? Do we wonder about tomorrow?

Are we concerned about the basics of life?

Was there enough food yesterday and will there be

enough for today? Who will pay the rent so we don’t have

to move again. Can we move and get out of here? Who

cares about me?

 

What Value Will You Place On Us?

Don’t children everywhere have concerns? Do they daydream

and wonder about the next day? Who will reach out to them?

Who will love them with all their might?

 

Will you value us as gifts from God? Will you pray

for us, laugh with us and tickle us? Will you provide what

we need? How far does your reach extend. How big is your love?

Do you care for those who are here and over there too?

 

If you love me, pray for me, provide for me and show me God’s way.

Met a FaceBook Friend Face to Face Today

For a long time now I communicated with this dedicated school teacher

from Geneva NY. Her name is Sandy. I met her through Sue, a long time

friend from my Hometown Jamestown NY.

We shared prayer stories via email. When FaceBook began to take off we

would talk about our ministries in our respective cities. Sandy works hard in

her school with her precious little students. She has taught them how to pray for adults.

Sandy even uses prayer coupons placed in her bulletins and newspapers to find

more prayer needs.

I thank God for the people He places in my life. Sandy is an inspiration to me

as she serves the Lord by ministering to her children and teaching them the power

of prayer.  

Thank you Lord for Your Precious Gifts.

Team Ship, there' Nothing Like it!

The Next Five Post (Highlights of the Mission Team)

I will highlight a member of the Zambia Team and let you
all know why they are the best people in the world. I would
serve with them any where in the world anytime.

The first person is my dear wife, friend and life partner Adrian V. Smith.
She is a trooper in all of the sense of the word. She now walks with
a cane but that didn't deter her from the Zambia trip. In fact all she had
to do is wave the cane and she would get VIP treatment at every airport.

Seriously, she loves God and people around her. Her hugs are contagious.
Adrian had her share of fear and uncertainty about some things but she
pushed forward. Her sensitivity towards the hurting was evident. She
shed tears for those who were orphans and considered vulnerable. Adrian
reached out and touched those who were chronically ill because her heart
demanded it.

Every where we went Adrian spread the joy of the Lord. She laughed her way
across Zambia. I thank God that she is my wife and partner. It was a privilege
for me to serve along side of her.
