Last Sunday I was reminded how important it is for us to keep doing what we do. As Robin and Thomas were giving testimony to the great work God did through His faithful servants from years past I could see the legacy left behind. I could see the sleepless nights of the faithful trying to figure out a way to get kids to behave and listen to the most important things to learn. I could see the renewed energy from perseveering saints who would rather stay home after a long days work but went on to shoulder the burden to lead teens to know the Lord's goodness. I could hear the prayers of dads and moms crying out to God, "I just don't think it is getting through!" And yet it did! We never know how God is going to use our gifts of sacrifice and love. We never know what future servant of God we are preparing, we just keep doing what He has called upon us to do. We keep going even when it hurts, even when it seems no one is getting it, even when we are weary! Be encouraged faithful folks! God is still on His throne and He is still working His will "to the praise of His glorious grace." (Eph 1:6)

Can't wait to See ya next Wednesday!
