Is your church more than a place to meet?  One, two or three sermons a week is not enough for you to be victorious throughout the week.  Our church must be a priority in our life in order for it to be something special and to be admired.  We are to put off the things that hinder us and put on the things that help us.  Are the following things put on or off for you:  daily Bible reading___, daily prayers___, Sunday School ___, morning service ___, watching too much TV ___, evening service, ___, mid-week service ___.   The early church met every day!  We cannot do that, but we do have Bibles and prayer! We need to make it our mission to make a difference at our churches, and do our part daily. 

Ephesians 2:19 states,

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,

but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God."

 

 

Good Saturday morning.  It is a grey, rainy day here, but a little rain never hurt anybody.  My Mother used to tell me I wouldn't melt if I got wet!  What are your plans today? 

 

Jim and I went out to eat last night and had Chinese at our favorite restaurant.  We order one item and split it and still have enough to bring home.  They certainly don't skimp on the portions, and it was good as always.  We can count of this restaurant to always serve the things we like and don't change up on us.  (and I am thankful Jim felt like and was able to go!)

 

 

On the way home, we kept noticing all the pear trees in bloom.  There is a row of these trees behind the Presbyterian Church in our neighborhood and I stopped to take some pictures.  I think these trees are so pretty because they are the first breath of spring we see all around us.

 

 

 

 

 

Just got word from my son, that my grandson has been sick all night and today was supposed to be the opening day of the tee-ball, softball, baseball season at the recreation center, along with a parade to precede the opening games.  But, the Lord saw fit to give us a rainy day instead so everything is cancelled until next Saturday and Jesse won't miss out.

 

I am going to a baby shower, that is a brunch at my church for a young couple having their first baby.  I made lemon muffins to take.  Another lady was making white with blue icing (they are having a boy), and I decided on plain muffins.

 

 

  I leave you this morning with one of those quotes that make you go ahhhhhhhhhhh, right!

 

The government cannot give to

anybody anything that the

government does not first take

from somebody else.
