Ministry Fair

Our church had a ministry fair this past Sunday.
We had four new ladies sign up for Needles of Faith.So excited to call them and see what they like to do crochet ,knit or sew we can sure use the help this past month we sent or delivered over 30 prayer blankets. To God be the glory and got to meet some really neat folks too.We prayed and laughed and listened and they all received our gift joyously.
I love this ministry and get so blessed just thinking of the many lives we touch with prayer as each item is created it is covered with prayer for whom ever will receive it.
Yes delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desire of your heart.
Do something for another this week and be richly blessed.

The Van

OK Dave Ramsey I am really trying to keep this van until it drops dead, but it is getting more expensive to keep than it is worth. The air conditioning has quit that's $1500.00 the wipers only work on high cost to repair $989.00 the catalytic converter has two holes in it haven't checked out the cost on it yet and a small ouch which is beginning to get worse so I put a bandage on it . I found the pink duck tape at Wallgreens now I feel pretty powerful wonder if it would patch the holes in catalytic converter? Forgot to say my Van is a 1999 and she takes licking but keeps on ticking really grateful to have her.It's a beautiful day think I may give the ole girl a bath and clean the inside ,kind of remind you of anything if we give the Lord all the bad stuff he will help us clean up the inside and replace it with good stuff.Don't know about you but I surrender what have you got to loose ? Just give Him a try and the stuff won't seem so important any more.Be blessed
Hebrews13:20 NIV May the God of peace... work in us what is pleasing to Him.

Back to some blogging

Boy this month is almost over and what a month.Last Sat .family got together for a soup supper and to celebrate Feb and March birthdays.Had a great time and quite a variety of soups bean,baked potato,chicken noodle,and Mexican one.Couldn't just try one.
We celebrated birthdays from the youngest (twin brothers) the big 13 official teenagers to the oldest 62.and some in between.Love the fact that the boys still play.They are such fun to watch.
Had another treat and surprise from daughter Tina she wrote each one of us a birthday love letter it was the best present I received ,we all cried and laughed made a memory.I am not much of a writer but maybe some of you are give it a try . I plan to frame mine. I have told her for years she has a book in her and would love to read it.

Ministry has been very busy too. We have delivered and mailed 27 prayer blankets ,10 chemo caps, 4 baby sets and our working on super single blankets for shelter in our community.Can you believe it only 10 of us but 3 new ones are coming to next weeks meeting.

Our church is having a Retreat in April has been few years since our last one.Theme is on Serving. Really looking forward to spending time with great women who love the Lord.90 have signed up.

Will end with thought from George McDolald Instead of a gem or even a flower,we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend,that would be giving as the angels give.

Please pray

Have been praying for Tina and her family,she has bronchitis and Grandson Garrett is having allergy problems.Tina is so busy kind of like the commercial about the lady who is looking at her calendar and saying no time to be sick can't fit it in.Today she called and ask if I could come out and fix dinner I know she is bad off she usually would crawl to the kitchen.So glad to help.She is always asking for prayer for others,time for others to please pray for her.Thank you .
I will pick Missy up from the groomer on the way to Tina's.She is at dogie spa getting a doo.
Tonight our home group is having a chili supper and fellowship eve.I am so greatful a really spiritual leader has been gone for awhile and he is coming back to lead and teach us again.We have a very special group.In these trying times so good to have this family of believers.Have a great week.

To blessed to be stressed

What a day ! FedX man delivered my winnings today and my honey is home today,he couldn't believe how nice the plaque is and we both are trying decide where we want to hang it.This has been a great week.
Needles of faith gals had birthday cake for me at our meeting this week and we got another blessing of five trash bags of yarn given to us thank you Lord for answered prayer.We can still use some baby yarn but know it will be provided when we really need it He is so faithful.
Get to help with the Kings daughter breakfast at church Sat for about 60 young ladies.Have some ideas of how to decorate some of the packaged items and add special touches for tables thanks to jeanne at creative ideas.Lots to do got to run and get started .
This is the day the Lord hath made we will rejoice and be glad in it !

This is what I won !

Got to go and measure where I might hang it,what a day heard from all my family wishing me a happy birthday and got to share the news with all of them.Glory !! So much thanks to Jeannie for the work of her hands designing this piece.

Happy Birthday

What a day hubby started it with coffee and sweet roll,and the cutest card. He wanted to go shopping for a cross necklace which was a wonderful idea but timing is little off money little funny if you know what I mean,so we agreed to wait.
You see he wants to retire in 2011.We also have a place in southern In we have held on to it for over 20 years and hope to be able and have it when he retires.
Now for the blessing you know this wonderful blog I told you about and gave the link to. Well I had entered a contest with several prises one of which was a wall sculpture Day Spring donated and I won.Wish I knew more of how to get picture of what I won,I will work on it.
I have cried and ask husband to pinch me and thanked Sweet Lord for such a blessing and on my birthday! I don't believe in chance God had this all planned out perfect timing.What a testimony to my family and friends.Please if you have not visited Inspiring Ideas do so she is so creative and you can buy her items at Hallmark and Day Spring plus she gives ideas on her blog too for free. I am rambling and hope I made sense. I am so blessed and may God bless all who visit!
