Today is the beginning of our signature event of each year. Operation Roaring River is a four day event that we host every fall. We even have hosted it in December as well. This is our ninth time hosting an event at the State Park. Hard to beat the location. It is so very peaceful in the valley. This year we have a Veterans from Colorado and Florida. Joining veterans from Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kansas. And upon talking to them, we learned that they found out about us through veterans that they know. Who have been to previous events.
At the opening ceremony, we talked about veterans coming back to share what they got to experience their first time coming to an event. We talked about how it’s only through God’s grace that we are able to do what we are doing. Because his grace is what people are feeling. They are experiencing it. And that draws them closer to God. And isn’t that the ultimate goal of everything that we should be doing? Showing God’s grace. Sure it is!
So, as you go about your day tomorrow work on showing God’s grace. Show others who he is. Do this, because many people don’t know what God’s grace is about. They have never experienced it. Isn’t that unfortunate? People we know have not felt the love that comes from him. Because… they have never turned to him. Let’s be sure to do all we can to show others his grace. And then they can move on and show others as well. Let’s do this because God loves us. Always has. Always will.
