SAPPHIRE

a Biblical thought...
Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is you, O LORD our God. Therefore our hope is in you, for you are the one who does all this. (Jeremiah 14:22)

a Book thought...
A holy life is a life that meets the requirements, and ensures the fulfilment of the promises of this holy book; a life fashioned after the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. (p20)

a Dave thought...
Last night Kylie hosted a Christmas in July dinner party at our house to raise money for overseas mission. The 3 course meal cost $25 an adult and was an initiative of Box Hill Salvos. SAPPHIRE which stands for Salvation Army People Providing Help In Real Emergencies was established a few years ago by James Allen and over the last couple of years has done some fabulous work. I'm sure with 18 dinner parties held last night, alongside an online auction over several thousand dollars would have been raised to add to over $30k already donated to SA overseas work by this group. It is always encouraging to see soldiers take initiative to raise funds and send them to those that need it most.

Just a thought.
