I know we’re all so busy this time of year and to be honest we often overlook this time of humbly remembering what our God has faithfully and tenderly done in taking care of us each day of this past year and all of our lives for that matter.
So, I just wanted to send everyone a happy Thanksgiving note and special verse which I have always found so encouraging.
Psalm 18:2 “Oh Lord, you protect me and save me; your care has made me great, and your power has kept me safe.”
I’ve always found it interesting and impactful that God’s care for us is at the center of this verse which is very humbling and encouraging at the same time.
I pray that this will bless everyone in reminding us of God’s true character as we spend time with family and friends.
I also hope that everyone consumes lots of turkey, takes a nap on the couch with the help of some all natural tryptophan, and be surrounded by good things and enjoy the company of good folks.
Hey there boys and girls of all ages and abilities. Our Access-Life fall newsletter was put in the mail on October 20th. Since we cannot snail mail it to all of our ministry family and friends, I want to share it with you here so you can see all the good things God is doing through the ministry. I hope you enjoy the photos, articles and information and if you feel led by the Lord to contribute to the work He is doing as we seek to stay and step with Him, you can simply go to our website at www.access-life.org and click on the donate button to the right of each page. I hope everyone is well and enjoying this great season of fall that leads us to thanking the Lord for all His good gifts which culminates in winter with the greatest gift of all at Christmas.
Hey there boys and girls of all ages and abilities! Is with great excitement and joy that I am sharing with you our summer newsletter which is our 44th overall. It contains some great pictures and information about our wild Expo at East Tennessee, two Easter Spring Flings as well as our first Leanne’s Life Legacy project. I hope you enjoy it and are blessed by the words and the smiles!
Hey there Access-Life family and friends. We just mailed out our spring newsletter featuring our trip to Belize and I wanted to share it with everyone since there are not enough stamps to go around here at ministry headquarters. :-) Hope you enjoy the pictures and stories as well as the notice about our two spring flings coming up in East Tennessee and Middle Tennessee on March 29th.
The copies we send out in the mail have a response card and envelope for folks that feel led by the Lord to support the work that God is doing through Access-Life. However, here I have placed a link to our secure online giving system for anyone feeling that same leading by the Lord to give a gift to the ministry in general for any one of the areas in which we serve individuals and families living with disabilities. :-)
Currently, our budgeted goal for the Belize mission trip and outreach is quite tight as we just had to purchase seven sets of new batteries ($771.72 wholesale, praise the Lord Jesus) for seven power chairs down there designated for folks who came to appointments. Plus, we have to ship them down to the mission as well as have a ramp to build for a lady who received a wheelchair but has no way to get it into her house. So, if foreign missions is on your heart this is a great place to make a direct impact. Simply select Belize in the drop-down menu once you are on the giving page
In any case, I want to say thank you to everyone who prays, gives and serves to keep the ministry moving forward in Christ.
Well, we are all on the cusp of yet another New Year: 2025. It’s always hard to believe when a new year comes but with it always comes that little but powerful word HOPE.
I’ve always wondered why it is included with the big three in 1st Corinthians 13 where we are told that faith, HOPE and love are the cornerstones of the Christian life.
Then after some prayer, researching verses and thinking I realized it’s true power and why it is worthy of being included as part of the foundation of our life of Christ. Faith is unstoppable, love never fails and HOPE is indestructible. It never dies, it cannot be stomped out and it will never go away. Rather, it will continually grow and bear fruit of the truth which God has put in our heart. My favorite illustration of this fact is Romans 4:18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping–believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”
One of Leanne and my favorite Bible verses is Romans 15:13 which says, “May the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, and the power of the Holy Spirit.” So, it is my prayer that we all go into the new year, every year, every day and even every moment with the highest HOPES in God not only fueling our faith in His promises but sustaining us in the knowledge that Jesus never fails. May we all believe that every day can be better with God so that we will be filled with His joy and peace as we see Him do great, good and wonderful things.
As Leanne would always say: pray the best, think the best and believe the best which comes from her favorite verse Ephesians 3:20 “Now glory be to God and by his mighty power I work within us is able to do far more than we could ever dare to ask or dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires thoughts or hopes.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAY GOD BLESS US ALL IN A NEW AND SPECIAL WAY IN 2025. HOPE for the best because the best is yet to come.
