<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">There are so many times when I'm in the mood to read a domestic magazine but while I'm doing so I'm thinking that I should be reading my Bible or at least a devotional. I just found this magazine the other day and was so excited. It has some great articles that are Christian based and they have guest writers and some amazing testimonies, they also have recipes and decorating ideas. There is a calendar to help you read the Bible in a year.I just wanted to share this with everyone because I think that you may enjoy it as much as I did.<br />

</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"> I just love going to Arizona to visit Clif and Charlotte, they have such amazing hospitality one can sure get spoiled there. I'm so glad I'm a part of this wonderful family, thank-you Clif and Charlotte for opening up your home to us.<br />

When our first grandson was a toddler one of his favorite places to eat was McDonald's, I didn't think he would every grow out of McDonald's. He is now 7 and his favorite place to eat is In and Out. He has matured enough to know that In and Out has a much better hamburger and is more filling, and satisfying than McDonald's. McDonald's was good and had it's purpose but time changes things. I feel like the church we go to is like a McDonald's and we need to mature into a In and Out. we need to grow and were not growing because nobody likes McDonald's anymore, they want In and Out.<br />
<br />
Our church is having a meeting tomorrow the second one of two,please pray for this meeting and our church. We are loosing good families and are not getting any new families, our church has stopped growing. I apologize for the analogy of a hamburger place compared to our church but as serious as this matter is I thought it was the best way I could explain. Thank-you for your prayers for our church.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
I had wrote out a post yesterday but decided that it was not what I wanted to blog about,have you ever changed your mine like that? This post is on my heart today so I hope that you don't mind me telling you a little story. Yesterday my husband and I went to a memorial for a could that past away at out church. Bernie,the wife past away April 15 of last year,the husband Joe, past away April 10,of this year.Bernie was 85 and Joe was 88,they were married for 65 years. They didn't have a memorial for Bernie last year because Joe just had surgery and was recovering. Joe never did recover and went to be with the Lord a year later. This couple was such a mentor to my husband and I,they will be missed enormously. Bernie had host many tea party's in her time and I was blessed to be able to host one with her, I will always cherish that day. For the last 5 years of Bernie's life was confined in a wheel chair because of a stroke, Joe was a devoted husband and took care of her. Joe had broke his hip and had to go be in a rehabilitation hospital,when he was there he had no one to take care of Bernie so he paid for her to have a room at that same rehabilitation center.Bernie had to be on the other side of the center since she was not a patient. She would visit him daily driving down the halls in her wheel chair. It was while she was there that she had another stoke that took her life. Joe was more than ready<br />
to be with his Lord and his wife,they will both be missed. I wanted to plant a rose bush in memory of Bernie, I came across one with the name Elegant Lady, that's the one,that's the rose bush I will plant at our church in memory of this elegant women. She was known for always having just the right jewelry on to match what outfit she had on. After she had past away Joe ask me if I wanted some of her costume jewelry, her jewelry box was as tall as my dresser. Joe laughed and said he never really realized how much money she spent on jewelry or how many cloths she had.<br />
<br />
<b>Dear Lord thank-you for bring this couple into my life, Bernie was a Proverbs women for sure and has taught me many things,and Joe who was a carpenter has fixed a thing or two at our home not to mention hundred's of things at church and at many homes of the people in our church. I will miss them both until the day comes when we meet again.</b><br />
<b>It's in your name Lord Amen</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Please visit Spiritual Sunday today there are so many beautiful hearts that share there each week about Jesus.<br />
God Bless,<br />

I had a vision,all I wanted to see out our windows were living walls. This was not very easy over the years, with different kinds of weather,and water shortages it was a challenge but now when we look out of every one of our windows all we see is green and all we here are birds, we feel like were somewhere else and not in a neighborhood.I new that I could not just plant all of these shrubs and trees without watering them,or feeding them,because I new they had a purpose a pretty big one at that. I didn't want to risk loosing any of them.I needed to nurture them in order for them to grow just the right way. This is how our Christianity is, we can't just be baptized and think that over night we will be a mature Christian, it can take years~and years of becoming a mature Christian . We need to nurture our souls, we need to water ,and feed our Christianity.We need to have faith and trust in the Lord.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
I received a gift from a lady at church, it's a little book called Whispers of Faith. There are so many wonder little quotes and scriptures that I have been sharing them with you from time to time, here is another one from this little book of encouragement.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Pray Now</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is not a question of praying and asking God to help you,</div><div style="text-align: center;"> it is the grace of God now.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We tend to make prayer the preparation for our service</div><div style="text-align: center;">yet it is never that in the Bible.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God...Pray now, </div><div style="text-align: center;">draw on the grace of God in your moment of need.</div><div style="text-align: center;">By Oswald Chamber</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

February was my anniversary, it has been four years that I have been blogging and I'm so thank-ful for all of my blogging friends that have come into my life, you have all touched my heart. My blog first started as a domestic blog and as time went on my heart Begin to be heavy and empty. I knew that there was something out there that I needed,that something was all of you my friends. Spiritual Sundays has touched my heart and has brought a new meaning to blogging for me. All of you often pop up in my mind during the week and my prayers are always with those who ask,and even for some who don't ask. I get tears in my eyes just knowing that someday the Lord will introduce us all. May you all have a blessed week.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">For more Spiritual Sundays please stop by <a href="http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">here</span></a> to visit.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Hugs,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Ginger</div>Ginger~~Enchanting Cottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15930442106195929472noreply@blogger.com16
