Several years ago, I read the story of a few Christian ladies who got together each week for prayer. As time went on, they felt led of the Lord to go into different communities and do street witnessing. One evening as they were out witnessing and passing out tracts to whoever would give them a few minutes of their time to hear the gospel, one of the ladies received a vision of an apartment building and its address. “Ladies” she said, “The Holy Spirit just showed me a building with its address and apartment number; we must go there.” The building wasn’t far away so they went there, knocked on the door and heard a feeble voice of a man say, “Come in.” An elderly man was confined to his bed. They shared with him why they were there and that the Lord wanted them to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him. He told them that he had been told that he had only a few days to live and appreciated the ladies coming. He was not a Christian, but after hearing the good news of Jesus and the salvation He offered; the man received Jesus as Savior and Lord.

By the end of August the sweet corn stands will be plentiful giving some kids income and corn for the table.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” - Romans 8:28 NIV We sometimes need to remind ourselves that we are not entirely responsible for the way things turn out with our affairs, let alone the outcome of worldly affairs. Sometimes it is okay to take a moral holiday and leave everything to God.
