7, 2019 – 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.

Memory Verse Challenge - Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls. 30 For my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light. 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!" Anonymous
