Okay, here is the story I've told before only much better said that I said it. Sorry it's a repeat. I just love the story. What breaks your heart for HIS tonight? Really? This is from the song called, "Hosanna". It says, "break my heart for what break yours". What if we REALLY said that and meant it? We are so very comfortable here in the US. IF our heart is truly broken for HIM, what does that mean? Think about it. It will make you uncomfortable. It does me. This is my passion now and I haven't even scratched the surface. My heart is not broken enough. Please join us for a prayer vigil this Wednesday at Buckner (on Cotton between the Fire Station and First Baptist) from 2 to 3 for foster children and their families...foster and biological. It is National Foster Care Month. Share our passion if only for prayer for a moment! Next you can buy raffle tickets from us to support Buckner here locally. They are for the Clay Shoot in July (you could also sponsor a table for those who want to compete in the Clay Shoot or just come for lunch as well)...a $10 raffle ticket will get you a chance to win wither a zero turn mower, a gorgeous bracelet, or a shotgun. We are also trying to get a team together to help sell tickets. Are you game? The money goes to Buckner only here in Longview. I know money is tight...trust me...Locke has been UNemployed since January...share our vision for this ministry. Show your support for these children. Show God that your heart is broken for what breaks his. Be passionate!One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy he asked, "What are you doing?"
The boy replied, "throwing the starfish back into the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out and if I don't throw them back, they'll die."
"Son," the man said, "Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and there are hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference...it's impossible."
After listening politely the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it into the surf. Then, smiling at the man he said, "I made a difference to that one..."
147 Million Orphans in the world.
That number is under estimated.
That number is overwhelming.
That number is unnecessary...
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask
or imagine according to his power that is at work in us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever." Eph 3:20-21
