One Year Closer to Christ's Return

I was speaker/singer for a Ladies Valentines Hat Tea at a lovely RV park in Desert Hot Springs .... down near Palm Springs .... I love it when Ms. Joyce and Ms. Barbara invite me to come .... the hall was beautifully decorated .... with lots of hats .... one lady showed us hats her grandmother wore .... that were purchased in the late 1800's .... and many in early 1900's .... which many of the ladies wore .... what a fun day .... my message was how to "Deal With The Mess of Stress" .... and I will say to you what I told them .... God told us how to deal with it .... "give Him our worries and cares" and be anxious for nothing, often that can be difficult for us, but that is what we must do.

I Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

Psalm 55:22 - Cast your cares on The Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

Ms. Joyce, Ms. Lillie and Ms. Barbara

Are you aware that every 3 years .... you can attend a safety driving session for senior adults .... and get a discount on your car insurance? I attended one this month .... I only have to go for 4 hours, because I have attended the 8-hour one for so many years .... I think each senior adult would certainly benefit from the course .... as there are always new rules and laws each year that we need to know about .... so you might want to check it out .... it is very important that we stay informed.

Again, what an opportunity I had to speak/sing for a group of precious senior adults .... in a chapel service .... they love to sing along with the old wonderful hymns .... I never like to close a program without inviting those who do not know Christ to accept Him as Lord and Savior .... because of course, none of us know when we will be called Home .... but because they have lived into their 80's and 90's .... I want to make sure they know that they will spend eternity someplace either Heaven or Hell .... I make it very clear .... I have them repeat the Sinners Prayer .... and only Eternity will tell what happens in those services after I have gone Home. I always pray God to draw them.

John 6:44 - No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

I've mentioned many times how it has been my privilege to support Teen Challenge for many many years. I'm able to go minister there on a regular basis at "The Castle" here in Riverside. My  heart is always touched when I hear testimonies from the men who have come to know Jesus through the Ministry at Teen Challenge.

John 3:17 - For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

My long time friend, Samantha, has been hosting Celebrity luncheons for 27 years in the desert .... they are always special times to hear Christians who are Celebrities.

Samantha, Husband Randy and Ms. Lillie

What a joy to be asked to sing for this luncheon .... with speaker Gavin MacLeod .... the "Loveboat Captain" .... what an incredible testimony of God's special plan for his life. We were all moved to tears.

Gavin MacLeod and Ms. Lillie

How nice to see another old friend and what a Celebrity she is! .... Miss America 1982, Cheryl Prewitt-Salem. I love when she and Harry minister together .... powerful!

Harry, Cheryl and Ms. Lillie

I greatly appreciate your prayers and support .... many of you tell me you pray for me regularly .... and that really does make me feel good .... and thanks to those of you who have sent financial support to me. Your gifts are an investment in this Ministry .... this is good ground and will pay off in Eternal Returns .... as well as a tax receipt here and now. I pray that God will reward you abundantly.

2 Corinthians 9:10 - He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

I would love to receive e-mails from you .... let's keep in touch .... please let me know how I can pray for you also .... and I will .... and as you are planning your calendar .... please know that I would love to come minister in your church, women's group, senior adult ministry .... please call me at 909-948-2448 .... and we'll talk .... and you will not be disappointed! God will be glorified and lifted up.

May The Lord of Lords and The King of Kings continue to bless you and keep you in His care as you face difficult tasks .... unusual challenges .... severe discouragement .... yes, it seems bad .... but God! .... He is with us .... He is true to His Promises .... we can always believe what He says .... He will work everything out for our good .... and won't leave you to fight battles alone.

Romans 8:37 - In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Until next time.....
Happy to be God's Handmaiden,
