AV Daily Power Point “Humble Yourself”
- Homeless man saves mother and baby from submerged car in bayou.
- Sandy's Cafe allows patrons to purchase meals for those in need.
- Community support for Pay-It-Forward program exceeds redeemed tickets.
| “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10 We all know the ache of striving—the chase for dreams, the balancing of demands, the weight of uncertainty. The world shouts that worth is earned through achievements, polished appearances, or tight control. But God whispers a better truth: True greatness begins when we stop climbing and start kneeling. |
| Like an ancient oak, humility isn’t about shrinking your story; it’s rooting it in the One who holds all things together. Whether you’re juggling deadlines, caring for loved ones, or facing trials that steal your breath, surrender isn’t defeat—it’s wisdom in motion. |
| When we unclench our grip on timelines and outcomes, God lifts us into His unshakable purpose. That dream that’s stalled? That relationship that feels stuck? That fear whispering “failure”? Entrust it to His care. What looks like an ending, God calls a seed—planted in fertile soil, waiting to burst into bloom. |
| Here’s the miracle: Your surrender isn’t loss. It’s the sacred exchange where God transforms your humility into shelter for others, your trials into testimony, and your quiet “yes” into a legacy only He could write. Today, let your heart rest here: The Author of eternity is still writing your story, and His best chapters begin when we trust Him with the pen. |
Pay-It-Forward program allows donors to buy meals for those in need
Sandy’s Cafe in Brick Township has launched a Pay-It-Forward program that allows patrons to purchase $15 meal tickets for those in need. Inspired by the JBJ Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, owner Ken McCrea has seen overwhelming support from the community, with more tickets purchased than redeemed. The program was also motivated by the government shutdown, highlighting the importance of treating people with dignity and providing support without questions asked. Sandy’s Cafe plans to continue the program and may donate to a local food bank, reflecting the generosity of its customers.
Homeless Man Rescues Mom And Baby After Car Crashes Into Bayou
A 22-year-old mother and her 8-month-old baby were rescued by an anonymous homeless man after their minivan crashed into Dickinson Bayou in Houston. The mother lost control of the vehicle, crossed lanes of traffic, and plunged into the bayou. The homeless man paddled his canoe to the submerged vehicle, rescued the mother and baby, and brought them safely to shore. Both mother and baby were taken to the hospital as a precaution but have since been released and are expected to be okay. Authorities praised the Good Samaritan for his quick and selfless actions, though he chose to remain anonymous.
