Our 43rd Expo overall and 7th annual outreach in North Texas is in the books and as usual God was faithful in giving us all we need plus more this past Saturday bringing countless smiles of His joy to the faces of the 1,056 folks who attended. From the extra large pontoon one volunteer rented to the variety of great food our volunteer team provided including a few BBQ sliders and Jalapeno poppers to go with the hamburgers and hot dogs, God was there pouring out His blessings. All in all, God covered the entire event with His holy, wholesome and good presence not only meeting our needs but giving abundantly beyond so that everyone was blessed as they blessed each other that day.
It reminds me of how God blesses each of us so we can be a blessing to others. In fact, one of the churches that brought out 175 volunteers to serve as buddies to the participants calls their volunteer ministry “Bless”. The great thing about God’s economy is that those who serve others are often blessed in return beyond what they give making our event an example of a heavenly win-win. You can never out give God and that applies not only to your finances but your time and talents, too.
The verse that often comes to my mind before, during and after each Expo is Deuteronomy 12:7 which says: ” There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the LORD your God has blessed you.” What a great word picture it gives to those who have worked so hard to put together the outreach of the rewards the actual event day will bring. This is God’s hope for our lives here on earth that until we reach our ultimate home of heaven we will serve Him enjoying the blessings He gives us each day.
We hope you enjoy the attached photo collage and pictures of God working, blessing and rewarding folks this past Saturday at the North Texas Expo and that you’ll be encouraged knowing God is bringing heaven to earth everyday and in so many ways through the lives of His people who have been blessed to bless others.
