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!

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go! This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the Outlets at Legends proved to be more than shopping. Then off to Virginia City. Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country. The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union. The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic.
