Over my years in Christ, there have been many people that the Lord used to encourage me as well as aid me in difficulties.
This thread is to acknowledge them and to publicly thank God for sending me to them and them to me.
The first entry is a whole Christian family that although did not lead me to Christ, they certainly nurtured me and challenged me and saw to my growth.
When I was in High school and a new Christian I sat down at a lunch time Bible study led by a young lady who encouraged me greatly. Her Fiance ran a Friday evening Bible Study at her house. . The Father in this family drove the bus on Sunday and was a very forthright and friendly man. Her mother headed up a team of Sunday School teachers for 4rth and 5th Graders. After a while of study she had me take on a group, and using prepared materials taught for many months. Her younger sister was likewise turning into a a Godly young lady.
So this was a dynamic Christian family and showed me as well as taught me much of what living for God was all about. They are still in my thoughts and prayers!
I would like to publicly praise and thank God for all they did for me!
Oh Lord!
I thank you for Charla, Steve, Charles, Doris and Donna!
Though we are separated in time and distance I know you have been with them throughout their lives. Let them continue to be an inspiration for my commitment to you.
I pray this in the name of Christ whom this family serves.
I plan a few more posts telling how God saw to my needs through His people around me. These are in public thanks to Him.
Feel free to post from you own life!
