Helen Amelia Thompson was gifted, and her parents knew it. Later, everyone knew it as she married a fiery young evangelist named Billy Sunday.

What a name for this Gospel power couple!

What God brought out in Helen is a perfect example of our “Star week” topic found in Philippians.

Philippians 2:15 says, “Shine...like the stars in the sky.”

Billy was naturally shy and not great at organization. Guess what? Helen was great at it, and a lot of other things. In fact, she was so good at running an evangelistic organization that she became quite an evangelist in her own right! She wrote a nationally syndicated column and advocated for opportunities for women. Her memorable line was that the “doors to the dollhouse have been opened!”

Helen Sunday shined bright all through her life and remains a great example for us all.

Let’s pray. Lord, use us mightily to tell others about Christ. Help us leave this world one day with no regrets! Amen.
