Today in Sumter....



My precious Grandson Miles

This morning we spent the day in the streets of Sumter. We spent sometime at a local community care home and then we went to tent city. Jimmy and Larry were there. Both of them needed a winter coat and they needed some lamp oil for the lantern that they heat with. After that, we went over to South Sumter and visited with some folks that live off of the Boulevard Road. (See Photo below)
All the while, Miles was right with us, as he is many times when we go out to do this ministry. This morning we were standing in a circle in the parking lot of Walgreens Pharmacy, all 6 of us were holding hands praying for protection for Jimmy and Larry. I opened my eyes for a second and saw Miles praying for Larry. It just made me smile . I think, "how blessed I am, indeed." To be out on a Saturday morning ministering the gospel, and doing a good work for the kingdom, and right beside me is one of my precious grandsons.  In that moment I realized that 3 generations of my family were standing in that parking lot ministering together.  Today was a very good day!

South Sumter
There are so many times when we  intend to bless others and we end up being blessed as well.......there is a scripture in Amos 9 that speaks of this... look it up. Think about what Amos is saying...Amos 9: 13
