Faith and Family Memories
By Julie Clayburn
Christmas will soon be here and I hope each day in December finds you enjoying the holiday season—its music, programs, decorations, greetings, and the many little reminders of God’s goodness.
I’m reminded of God’s goodness every time I read a heartfelt message or receive a donation from a generous listener. Thank you for your faithful support this year. You have truly made a difference. I’ve saved three recent messages that touched my heart to share with you—stories from people whose faith and family bonds (two things that mean so much to me this time of year) have been strengthened because of your partnership.
“Thank you so much for doing this [Adventures in the Holy Bible]! We enjoy spending time together searching the Bible, reading your stories, and doing the quiz worksheets! Hope you guys never stop this program!” —Emily and Brianna (sisters)
My 8-year-old daughter and I were just listening to the story “A Stalled Truck and the Lost Goggles” while driving to the dentist. Afterward we stopped at a store, I must have locked up the steering wheel when I turned the truck off. When we wanted to start it again it wouldn’t start.I prayed, and called someone for advice, and googled the internet on how to unlock the steering wheel. Nothing worked. I called my husband to come pick us up. Then I told my daughter maybe if she prays like they did in the story, it will start. She was reluctant at first but then decided to pray. Right after she was done, I tried again the steering wheel unlocked and the truck started! Praise God! We love your stories.”—Miriam and Tatiyana
“I first learned of Your Story Hour when I would go stay with Aunt Pat. We would listen to the radio throughout the day and always looked forward to Your Story Hour and enjoyed the stories together. We would often learn details we were unaware of and discuss our thoughts about them. It was always a special time for me that I continue to cherish. It is now how I start my day. I listen to your program on my daily hour-drive to work. I feel blessed that Aunt Pat shared your ministry with me, so now I want to help share it with others. I know how much she loved the Lord and your ministry, and believe this support is a good way to honor her love for the Lord and others. I pray that your ministry continues to reach the hearts and souls of many generations to come, bringing all to a closer relationship with Jesus.” —Dana
Isn’t it touching to see how your gifts bring people closer to God and make wonderful family memories?! As the year ends and budgets reset, I ask you to prayerfully consider a special year-end gift so Your Story Hour can continue bringing boys and girls closer to God and to their families in the coming year.
