Rick The next time you feel like God can't use you, just remember...Hey everyone, I hope you all of you were able to spend some time with your family Easter Sunday. If not in person at least electronically. I have shared on a couple of occasions a little part of my story of being called into the ministry. Often when I think about it I am still amazed that God can use someone like me. Maybe you wonder about that yourself sometimes. I ran across the following that you should read. God not only can use each of us, He wants to use each of us. God Bless, see you Sunday. The next time you feel like God can't use you, just remember...
Easter Service 4/12/2020Thinking About EasterGood evening church family, its Bro. Steve. I haven't posted anything for awhile because, believe it or not, I have been extremely busy helping my daughter and son in law re-landscape their home. However, I have been thinking more and more about Easter and I ran across a song with video singer songwriter Don Francisco that I thought was very inspiring and encouraging. I wanted to share it with you. God Bless and See You Sunday. Sunday Worship April 5, 2020Letter From Bro. Rick |

Hi everyone, it's Steve again. I read this the other day and got to thinking that if God really did write a letter to me it probably would be in simple straight forward terms so that I could understand it. We all know these things but I thought I would post it just as a reminder.
There are actually 10 things that are pointed out in this letter. I thought I would post 5 of them today and the other 5 tomorrow. I pray all is going well with each of you. Don't forget to join us Sunday at 10:00 for our morning worship service on Facebook. You can find the link here, click on the Facebook icon above or find the link or our homepage. We miss you guys and we want you to know that we Love You All Very Much.
From: God
To: All My Children Effective Immediately:
Please be aware that there are changes you need to make in your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill my promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. I know, I already gave you 10 Commandments. Keep them, but follow these guidelines as well.
1. QUIT WORRYING
Life may have dealt you a blow and you don't have to sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?
2. PUT IT ON THE LIST
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me. And, although my to-do-list is long, I am, after all, God. I can take care of anything you put into my hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.
3. TRUST ME
Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on my list. Problem with finances? Put it on my list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For my sake, put it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4. LEAVE IT ALONE
Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave me your burdens, and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me do my job.
5. TALK TO ME
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I want you to never forget. Please don't forget to talk to me - OFTEN! I love you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with me. I want to be your dearest friend.

Part 2 - Letter From God
Happy Saturday everyone, it's Steve with the second half of the letter from God. Hope you are having a great day. Spoke with Bro. Rick earlier today and I am looking forward to the message that God has laid on his heart for tomorrow. Don't forget we will be live on Facebook Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. Be sure to share this with your family and friends and especially help get the word out to our congregation. I have lots of links to our Facebook page but I am going to add one more at the right below this paragraph. Just click on the icon and it will take you directly to our Facebook page. See you in the morning. God Bless
Second part of the letter from God:
6. HAVE FAITH
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7. SHARE
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who are mourning. Share your faith with those who have none.
8. BE PATIENT
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes me a little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list? Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.
9. BE KIND
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please know I love each of your differences.
10. LOVE YOURSELF
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes my heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget that!
With all my heart, I love you,
GOD
6. HAVE FAITH
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't want the view from my eyes.
