View this email in your browser Hello! We hope you are having a lovely day and you have seen the goodness of God! We have some updates, jokes and encouragement for you, but before we get to that we would just like to say thanks. A few weeks ago we asked for prayer for Dad and a lot of people have been supporting us spiritually, financially and emotionally. Words cannot express the gratitude and love that we felt and still feel. We also appreciate the patience of those who waited until Dad updated himself, per his request (in case you missed that update, you can watch it here). From our family, we just want to say, “Thank you so much!” We ask that you continue to keep Dad in your prayers. He’s doing better, but he still has a way to go.

Joke of the Day! What do you call an alligator in a vest? God Knows Best Bible Verse: 1 Samuel 16:7 KJV “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” The other day, I found myself as an on-looker to a situation. As a result, I was impressed to do this “good deed”. Something that would be totally acceptable, even commendable, to do by most people. As I was thinking about it, I started to consider certain scenarios. On the negative side, what if this situation was the resulting consequences of this person’s actions? What if they continuously did wicked things and became egotistic in their ways? What if they disregarded the need to change and this was a necessary trial for them to go through in order to change their ways? On the positive side, what if this trial is to strengthen them? What if this is the storm before the calm? What if they are being positioned to accomplish the great things God has in store? Then I thought to myself, “What is it that makes a “good deed” the right decision for a situation?” In 1 Samuel 16, we find the story of the Prophet Samuel being sent by God to appoint a new king for Israel. The Lord told Samuel to go to the house of Jesse for He had provided Himself “a king among his sons”. Eliab, the first son of Jesse, went before the prophet and the Bible says Samuel almost anointed him. To Samuel, Eliab looked like a king. He was tall, handsome and well built. Good on the eyes and pleasing to the human mind, but God saw Eliab’s heart. We might look at situations and think, “This might be the right thing for this time” or “This is the person we’re supposed to help by doing such-and-such a thing”, but what if we’re wrong? If Reuben had been able to retrieve Joseph from the pit (Genesis 37:21-29), what would have happened during the famine? If Nebuchadnezzar hadn’t become like an animal and eaten grass (Daniel 4:18-37), would he have acknowledged God as the one and only true God? If God intervened and stopped Jesus, who never deserved death, from giving His life for us, what would our life be? Sometimes we may look at situations and believe we know what’s good to do, but without the Holy Spirit, we can never be fully on the right path or in the will of God. It takes the Holy Spirit to make every situation fall into the place it’s supposed to be. We should be open to and looking for the leading of the Holy Spirit, not just listening to our “morals'“. Only God knows best. Kaiziah Joke of the Day Answer! An Investigator! 🤣🤣🤣 As summer comes to an end and we “Fall” into the next season, we pray we will all allow God to be our daily guide.
