1st Annual Riley Turner Golf Tournament

First off let me start by saying Tiffany, Jason, John, and Shellie thank you so much for everything that you did for this Golf Tournament, it exceeded all of my expectations. To everyone who participated thank you for being such a blessing to my family I am truly thankful you are in my life.

Today I was amazed as 70 golfers showed up for a tournament to help raise finances for my family and our ongoing medical expenses. It was so humbling for me to see so many people that have been rallying around us in prayer that I had no idea about, it is a very cool thing when you meet someone for the first time and the first thing that they say to you is I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

There was something that I wanted to share today, but honestly I did not want to cry in front of so many men so I decided to post it here:

The Sheep and the Goats

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

You see for so many of you today was just about helping a family raise money for their daughters ongoing medical expenses, which is an amazing thing in and of itself. However, there is a bonus for your generosity that many of you probably did not even think of and that is that you were doing this to Jesus.

You see the Bible makes it very clear in the verses above that whenever we do anything for those less fortunate than us that we are really doing it for and unto the Lord. Many of you today in just helping my family fulfilled a biblical principal of caring for those who may be less fortunate and for that our loving Lord in heaven will pour out is love and blessings upon you.

THANK YOU FOR BEING THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS.
