Sunday ~ Sunday

The past few days have been challenging weatherwise but even in the challenge, how beautiful God has made our surroundings. Beautiful white snow drifts, nature is aglow by His powerful hand. Peace and beauty surround us with His glory. Thank you God for your Son, He is our salvation and we are truly blessed.

Whole Foods

Silly weather. Kathryn keeps talking about Whole Foods and I finally had a day I could get to it today but the silly weather stopped that little trip. I found a great recipe on their site and need to get there to get the ingredients to make it for "food night" next week. May have to fall back and re-group. I may talk to the "powers that be" and see if the weather looks like it is still going to be goofy next week on Wednesday, perhaps we could move "food night" to the next week. I don't really trust that the "long range" forecast will be correct.

Blessings and prayers

I pray today for patience and love toward my fellow man. My heart is good and I want my life to exemplify all of the gifts God has granted me. Please dear God, forgive my shortcomings and ease my mind and spirit. Thank you God for all you do and are.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies andGod of all comfort, who comforts us in allour tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
( 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 *NKJV )

Wednesday is a great day ~ aren't they all?!

Dear Heavenly Father, I know I became a new creation in Christ when I became a Christian. But sometimes, I just feel like the same old me. Please help me to become more conformed to the image of Christ today. Take away whatever needs to be taken away to reveal the beauty of You that is in my heart. Help me to be spiritually beautiful today and always.
In Jesus' Name, Amen

First day of the New Year ~ Welcome 2010

Today I welcome the New Year. 2009 is history and we start anew with 2010. I am grateful that opportunities present themselves for me to grow in my knowledge of Christ and that I can now recognize them. I am truly blessed.
This evening is the New Year's party for Adult V, my "life group" or Sunday School group as I still like to call it. I am looking forward to seeing my dear friends again after what seems like a long separation (a week and a half) from my Church family. Weather and holidays have created a break in the time I have spent with them of late and I am missing that fellowship.
