Together We Can Make A Difference!

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)

This is one of the questions I posed to our God's Girls Group Bible Study Live on Thursday evening, "what are some possible steps we can take together to show God's love in our church and/or communities?" As many of you know my son is deployed, so my heart leaped for joy when many of you wanted to participate in a letter writing campaign to our military members who defending our country around the world. The cost of postage for a letters to APO/FPO address is usually the same as first class postage mailed within the U.S. If the CCMV chicks or if you live local & want to send a bundle I'll mail them; just leave it at the information center; send me a quick message or text.

Here's the list and the address format - feel free to address your letters to anyone of the sailors on this list. Our family knows how important it is to receive letters, cards, and words of encouragement when you're away from your loved ones.

They are many other ways we can make a difference in our churches and communities - volunteering, using your time and talents to serve God's people. Above all we can pray for each other and lift each other up continually.

You are such a blessing to me...may God continue to bless you!

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

Why God Wants to Bless You! “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV), “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
