The Good Samaritan

I really don't know how to begin to thank each of you for your love and support. The past few months have been a very difficult and testing time for my family. Through it all we have continually had love and support from so many of you. Thank you for your prayers, cards and financial blessings. You will never know how much your support has meant to us. I know that we have thanked many of you over and over again, but thank you just seems so small for the victory you have helped us win. Without your prayers and encouragement I'm not sure we could have pulled through this. But, God has honored each of our prayers. Steve is back in the pulpit and God is restoring him back to good health. Thanks be to God! Also a heartfelt thanks to each of our "Good Samaritans" who saw a need and reached out.

Luke 10:30-37

"And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him

And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."
