Dear KKIM Family………….
This is a Cup full of Love as I leave for the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. Please pray.
I feel like I am leaving with so much unfinished business.
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our LORD and of HIS MESSIAH, and HE will reign forever and forever.” Rev. 11:15, nrsv
We have access to God’s grace, but even more, we have access to HIM. R.C. Sproul
Please pray for Gwen Browne. She undergoes surgery on Friday.
Please pray for Reenesha Box as she undergoes a liver biopsy on the 19th.
Sharon wanted to share this with you………..
JUST CHECKING IN
A minister passing through his church in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar and see who had come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw the man hadn’t shaved in a while.
His shirt was kind of shabby and his coat was worn and frayed, the man knelt, he bowed his head, Then rose and walked away.
In the days that followed, each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment, A lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister’s suspicions grew,with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,’What are you doing here?’
The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.
‘I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kind of what I say:
‘I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I’VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIPAND YOU
TOOK AWAY MY SIN. DON’T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT
YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY.’
The minister feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray anytime.
Jim smiled and said ‘Thanks.’
He hurried to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar, he’d never done that before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,and he met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed from his heart, he repeated old Jim’s prayer:
‘I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I’VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU
TOOK AWAY MY SIN. I DON’T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK
ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY.’
Past noon one day, the minister noticed that old Jim hadn’t come.
As more days passed without Jim,he began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked about Jim, and learned that he was ill. The hospital staff was worried, But he’d given them a thrill.
The week that Jim was with them, Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagion Changed people, were his reward.
The head nurse couldn’t understand why Jim was so glad,when no flowers, calls or cards came, Not a visitor he had.
The minister stayed by his bed, He voiced the nurse’s concern:
No friends came to show they cared. He had nowhere to turn.
Looking surprised, old Jim spokeup and with a winsome smile;’the nurse is wrong, she couldn’t know,that he’s in here all the while everyday at noon He’s here,a dear friend of mine, you see, He sits right down, takes my hand, Leans over and says to me:
‘I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM, HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE
FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN. ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS CHECKING IN TODAY…’
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends
will leave footprints in your heart
So this is me … Just Checking In
Thank you honey……..Now until we meet again this is Dewey saying so long for now………God Bless, Dewey Sharon and family
