Just as the donkey
carries a cross we too have our own crosses to bear,
some heavier than others. Looking further one might
also notice that the cross upon the donkey marks the
exact center of his being. I believe this is to be a
sign for us. When we place Christ in the center of our
lives he is faithful to carry our burdens if only we
would turn them over to him. In a town called Bethlehem
a donkey such as this carried the word in. Later he
carried the word to Calvary and now he has carried it to
many of you. If you have received a Bible at a donkey
show, special event, occasion, or from someone who
picked one up just for you, know that a special prayer
has been said each day on your behalf. You can find
the number of your Bible listed below along with the
daily prayer that goes out for you.
You may also email me with any special prayer requests
and I will add them to my personal prayer list. I would
be glad to post any requests if you so desire.
DAILY PRAYER:
The
prayer goes something like this: Lord I pray that those
who were faithful to your call and have received one of
the Bibles listed below will hunger for the revelation
knowledge of you which comes through your Word. I ask
Lord that they will desire to have a closer relationship
with you. Bless their home with peace, joy, hope, etc.
Protect their family from the hand of Satan. Lord I
pray too that you will heal them of any physical,
emotional, and/or financial problems that they may be
encountering. Show them that your word will reveal to
them the true purpose for their life. Pour out upon
them special blessings that they may share their joy
with others so that all might see Jesus in them.
WHO IS
JESUS?
To
learn about the loving kindness of this most
extraordinary man, God's son, you should begin reading
in the book of John. Once you understand who he is you
may want to except his gift of eternal life. As you
read the following scriptures the Lord will reveal to
you how you may receive salvation through grace.
John
14:6
Romans 10:9-11
2Corinthians 5:15
Revelations 3: 20

To date we have now passed out 1050 Bibles
July 3rd: This year we decided to cancel
our plans and allow the Lord to direct our path.
Instead of traveling to Shelbyville we decided to stay
closer to home and share the Word with those in our
community. We could not have had a better day.
The sun was out with a little breeze to help ward off
the heat. It was the perfect day for a Fourth of
July Parade. We felt so welcomed by Mrs. Baker the
Crab Orchard Parade host and were given a front of the
line position which was wonderful for our little Moses
who finds it hard to keep up with his long legged equine
friends who tend to take up the rear. As always we
came prepared to distribute God's Word. Cookies
were prepared, Bibles were stickered, brochures folded,
bookmarks cut and most importantly prayers were prayed
that those who would accept our gifts would be blessed.
Life has so many distractions, hurdles, heart breaks,
financial struggles, etc. Often we find ourselves
looking for peace but yet we don't know where to find
it. Truthfully, it is found right within the pages
of the Bible. I encourage you to look no further,
seek no more but instead read and put into practice the
Word that the Lord God has left for us as a gift that we
might be set free from the bondage of sin enabling us to
enjoy all that the Lord has provided. From
experience I have found that when we seek joy through
our own means we somehow seem disappointed. I
cannot explain how it feels to be obedient to the Lord
and receive his blessings. There is a feeling of
absolute fulfillment. I challenge you to try it.
Choose a scripture and put it into practice, be patient,
and enjoy the blessings of the Lord. You, too,
will understand why we love to share God's Word with all
that will receive it. May God Bless You!!!
"His
lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant;
you were faithful over a few things, I will make you
ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your
lord.’"
Matthew 25: 21(NKJV)
