Dear brethren,
I would like to share something that happened to me today.
In my construction work I use this older potato chip van { big box van} to haul my tools and things around in. Anyhow after driving into the drive way I heard this big noise, ten feet from where I normally park it, thought maybe I ran over something and blowout a tire. Well instead I had a lower ball joint break off. Now if this had happened driving down the road I could of had a accident plus a towing bill to get it home so I could fix it. And I really don't have the money for a big towing bill right now neither. And it was early enough to get the part and get it fixed tonight.
So I just want to praise the Lord for allowing it to happen where it did and not having any thing or one hurt. Also for God giving me the skill to fix it.
God is so good all the time.
Bro Randy

Praise the Lord Bro Randy! God is so good to His dear children to provide their every need. I am so glad He let it break down in your drive way! And that you could get it fixed that very day! And had the know how to do it yourself! God is truly good.
Have a great week end!

I'm thankful my dear brother Randy didn't wreck out on the highway due to the ball joint breaking. Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

That is part of the normal course of life here on this earth. If we did not have the ups and downs we would not need The Comforter.
Antidepressant drugs will help to lessen the lows of life but they also destroy the highs. the highs that only come through an ever increasing relationship with Jesus Christ.
As you go farther in your life with Christ and without the drugs you will find that the highs, the joys of life, far exceed the lows. Then of course we have the wonderful promise and knowledge that one day we will all meet in heaven. Oh what a wonderful day that will be!!! No more pain, no more suffering, no more hurt, none of the things of this life. That alone ought keep us in good spirits.
As it is sung in Beaulah Land, "There's just a few more days to labor." Only a relatively few more days and we shall be free of all of this. Oh what a joyful thing we have to look forward to as Christians. If we keep our eyes upon Jesus the things of the earth will grow strangely dim.
Praise God! He is good and He is good to us all the time. It is we who muddle things up.
In Christ, George

Dear Brother Randy and Sister Debbie, I am rejoicing with you both on the praises you posted here.
Randy, that was great that nothing seriously happened and that no one, including yourself were hurt...I pray the Lord truly blesses your business!!!!
Sister Debbie, I am so happy for your update! I have several relatives who rely upon the use of anti-depressants/anti-psychotics to live by... My sister is one who is a diagnosed Bi-Poloar/Schizo-Affective person...and my cousin, also a severely mentaly ill person now...my cousin and I have some time to talk about it..she just cried her heart out...she hates being labeled, but on the other hand won't give up here $1300 a month in government support for her "disability" (I know for a fact she has held down an administrative assistant job not too long ago, and this is not her..its her resigned to getting the easy money that the federal government gives out)
I am proud of you sister for taking a stand against the meds and I continue to keep you close in prayer!
God bless, Sister Penny
