51 years ago

On this day 51 years ago in Kungshamn Anna and I said Yes to each other. This was a wonderful experience. 

Yes Yes Yes.... Anna you are the best and most beautiful person on this earth. I am so blessed to live and serve God with you. 

Today you are sharing the Good News to children/teens in Buntharik. One of the most neglected places we seen.  The corner of Thailand-Laos-Cambodia. 

Happy to celebrate this wedding day over fb, but we could not share the cake... over fb.



Thank you my Love.

I can do something, but...

We are not the light of the world, but we are created to be light bearers ... wherever we go. Yes, we can do something ... but we need to let God do the main things in Life.

Saturday evening I went by train from Stockholm to Gothenburg. I came in good time to the train station in Stockholm. I found the train, my seat and ....... enjoyed a very good ride to Gothenburg.  

If I had tried to make these 468 km by myself, walking the whole way, it would have been a disaster. 

This spoke to me. So often we become self-centred and think: I am strong and educated so I can fix it myself. I put myself in the centre.  No no no. 

I can do many things, but not the main things in Life:                                            Not create the meaning of Life.                                                                              Not health, not heartbeat, not breathing.                                                                Not Joy and n0t peace.                                                                                                Not Salvation from sin. 
Etc.

It became very clear to me that God knows it all. And can do it all. Or, I can try to make it all. No life is cooperation. Working together.  
 
Prayer is not to inform God our need, or others need. He knows it all but; we need to pray:
1. To agree with others.  United from our hearts.
2. To be humble: I can not make it myself.
2. To walk with God in a daily fellowship. 
3. To obey God. We build together The Kingdom of God according to His plan. 

As children and as old people we understand we need God more and cooperation with others more. Let`s also as middle-age do the same.  

This is a very meaningful song:

Now for 2½ months

               

We are very happy to be well and to be spiritual parents, both in Sweden and Ubon-Pakse. We see 3 areas:

A. Doing what we can do    -      We are Hands On. 

B  Training others who will train others who...     -    Others are Hand On.

C  Seeing and sharing what God is doing. Witnesses of God`s might work.

Anna is now 2½ months in Ubon and I am in Sweden. After 8th January... I will be in Ubon-Pakse and Anna in Sweden. I am this weekend up in the north of Sweden.  

Before Anna left we studied James 1:22-25 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves  .......   we will be blessed in his doing.

We can teach and preach the word of God and .... it is the truth. But first when we Do-The-Word we get a testimony and we and the people around us are blessed. 

This is the blessed/happy life: Hearing and doing ---- so we and others get a living testimony of what God is doing. 

We are sending out 2 services every week over Facebook and YouTube from Streams of Grace Church Ubon. Friday service and Sunday Service. Join us. Today I joined at the Gothenburg Railway station and in the trian to Stockholm.
On Sunday Anna is preaching. 

Have a good weekend. Greetings from the train. Ingvar (Fred)
