Trail Mix - 3.6.18

3.6.18 – Vance Havner said, “God marks across some of our days, I’ll explain later,” and the old song says that, “We will understand it better by and by.” God does not always explain everything He does in the here and now but we will know in the hereafter! It may be a sun lit vision on a mountain top or a deep dark dim valley of despair for you friend but whatever it is, trust that He knows the way. Hold to “God’s unchanging hand” and all will be well. He never, ever fails and we can trust our destiny to Him! S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to have peace in the circumstances of your life whether it be in calm or calamity!

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. KJV

“A preacher, who shall we say was "humor impaired," attended a conference to help encourage and better equip pastors for their ministry. Among the speakers were many well known and dynamic speakers. One such boldly approached the pulpit and, gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman that wasn't my wife!" The crowd was shocked! He followed up by saying, "And that woman was my mother!" - The crowd burst into laughter and delivered the rest of his talk, which went over quite well.
The next week, the pastor decided he'd give this humor thing a try, and use that joke in his sermon. As he surely approached the pulpit that sunny Sunday, he tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It suddenly seemed a bit foggy to him. Getting to the microphone he said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of another woman that was not my wife!" The congregation inhaled half the air in the room. After standing there for almost 10 seconds in the stunned silence, trying to recall the second half of the joke, the pastor finally blurted out, "...and for the life of me I can't remember who she was!"
