A Taste of France

The youth of our church put on a banquet for Valentines day. They called it " a Taste of France" to have a little different flair for valentines day. It was decorated like a french cafe. There was a table full of flowers for the french flower shoppe and another corner full of Art that our teens drew, we called that our Art Galleria.
In another corner was a Bistro and a eight foot tall Eiffel Tower that we took pictures in front of. It was a beautiful scene.
Then the youth pastors wife did all the cooking and planning it was really good. The menu was Chicken Cordon Bleu and Roasted potatoes with herbs and green beans with a French flair. Also severed was fresh French bread. The desserts were Chocolate cake and Cheesecake. I know that is not french, but the kids wanted that.
The youth dressed up in black and white attire. They served us with the manners of classic waiters We had a great time of fellowship.

A day at the Hospital

Yesterday was and interesting day. It started out as a normal Tuesday morning with our devotions and breakfast. Then we both got ready for the things that we had to do. My husband had and appointment at 10 am. at the church with the security system company. To see what it would cost to have our system upgraded. When I got a phone call to come to the church. He said that he was in severe pain and needed me to bring him some medicine for his back. But when I got there he was in bad shape with the pain. So, needless to say, that it was not his back after all, but rather it was a kidney stone. He was in such pain. He tryed to wait it out, but when he started throwing up, we knew that it was time to go to the emergency room. I got him at the ER and things got worse. So they got him a room and the nurse started and IV with fluids and pain meds. They also gave him a shot to get things going faster. After about three hours he started feeling a little better. Then they took a CAT scan and found a stone that was 2 milometers. It had already started to move down. I guess with all that fluid that they were giving him, helped him to go. We still have not seen the stone. But we are so thankful that we able to come home around 6 pm last night. He is in no pain for now. I can't understand how these things can be so painful.

Wow, I didn't realize that I have not posted anything for a long time. It had been a busy time from Thanksgiving to the end of the year. We had many things going on. A trip to Ohio to see the Family for Thanksgiving. Then down to Geogia to visit my oldest daughter for a week. We had a blessed time. Then we brought two of the Grandchildren home with us for 3 weeks until Christmas. It was exciting at our house. It is interesting how to eight year olds can keep you busy. But I have enjoyed every moment of our time together.

But now it is a New year with New Beginings and I am anxious to see what the Lord will have for us this year. We are scheduleing our yearly events on the calender for this new year. God is so amasing, and so great. We have a great God, Glory to his name.. I just want to be used of him this year. I want to see souls saved, and our church grow for his glory. Praise his Holy name!
Joyfully His

Ladies Fall Felowship Meeting

Well, How do I start. The Lord was Good, we had a blessed day in the Lord. Our church had hosted a Ladies one day retreat on Sat Nov. 14, 2009. We had planned it for 3 months. The Ladies where so great to get involved in the planning. I had someone working on the invitations, and someone organizing the music. Also I had a Lady organize the food and many helping with decorations, favors and gifts. It was such a blessing to see everyone get involved.
Then Sat came and the Lord blessed again. We had over a hundred ladies there. I also had some special speakers, Mrs Provi Martin, a missionary from Honduras, and Ann Moore, missionary to Nicaragua. Also a Young Lady from our own Church. The Theme was on "Gleaning Blessing in the Harvest of the Lord". They did a great job on their messages. It started from the gleanings of blessings in the book of Ruth. To the blessings in their lives, even threw the trails that we go through daily. It seemed that we all went away being blessed. It was such a God honoring Day. Praise His Name. I'm looking forward to next year.

Freindship

God has been good to give me friends in my life of ministry to encourage me. I had just said good-bye to a very special and dear friend. God used her in my life. She encourage me in the area of witnessing. Some times we let fear hinder us in that area, because we do not like to have someone upset with us. I've learned that with Christs love nothing is to impossible. I pray that God uses her and her family in there new station of life.
She is a sweet young lady. Who brought great joy to my life. I appreciated her and her walk with the Lord. Also her wiliness to serve, and her edifying spirit. When ever I needed anything done she was their. When ever I was down their would be a phone call, or a note that would encourage me. Yes, I do miss her very much. God puts those rare people in our lives for a time as this. I pray God's richest blessings on her life

The Littlest Skyscraper

The other day a friend of mine took me to see this little wonder. It was the littlest Sky Scraper in the world. The behind the scenes story is that the builder built it to scale in inches instead of feet and then beat feet out of town.
It is only one room wide, this building is 10 feet by 16 feet in plan and is 40 feet tall.
It was built as a stock swindle that raised $200,000, the blueprints were presented in inches instead of feet to investors.
