Ways to share the GospelUPDATE

From CHATTY HOUSEWIFE:

A word of caution though-

we don't want it to become graffiti,

so always use rocks small

and easily movable so they are not in one place long.

I found this way of getting the WORD out
just so clever.
Does it replace, tracts, one on one, etc?
NO
but it does get the WORD out and all it takes is a
Sharpie and a ROCK
Think of the places you could leave one of these
Check out the other pictures at :
Chatty Housewife Blog
Would love to know if any of you are going to do this.

Isaiah 55:11

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not return unto me void,

but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Sunday-Monday

Sunday night we were priviledged to have
Pastor S. M. Davis at our church.
He spoke on "Storm Proofing your Marriage"
Excellent sermon, I had heard him before but never in person.
He is a Pastor in Illinois and also has a Ministry to families.
Please check out his web site:
Solve Family Problems.

Monday

I went and had part 2 of my cardiac testing.
It was not as rough as the first part.
I am waiting for the results and then have a echo
scheduled for next month.
I appreciate the prayers and emails.
I am thankful,

Thanks JenUPDATE*

Had my tests, and will have part 2 as they say on Monday.

Today's was the rough one...I am praising the Lord

For HIS goodness and mercy and the Prayers of HIS People

Should know the results next week

Still have another one in March

Thank you dear friends for praying

I couldn't resist.

I snagged this picture from *Pen of Jen's* blog

She is using it this week for her caption contest.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was thinking of all the things we have done,

as women to try to improve our looks.

Look at this little girl, it starts so young.

I would guess this is one of those early

permanent days...or is it?

I have read recently most women

have their hair done, more to please

other women, rather than what

their spouse likes.

I think I would agree with that statement.

Anyways, this picture sure tickled my funny bone and reminded me of my

first experience as a 5 year old getting my long hair cut off and getting a

very curly perm. When I see the old movies of it,

I CRINGE.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

For more great pictures every week,

visit Pen of Jen's. She posts on Tuesday her

pictures and then you come up with the captions.

~*~*~*~*~

ALSO, Would love prayer

I am having some cardiac testing

tomorrow. I am sure it is NOTHING

but a tad nervous, plus I have to be off caffeine

**24 hours**

aaARGH !!!!

a verse on my mind

Do you ever mull things around in your mind?

I do, and sometimes , I THINK I do to a fault.

I was mulling again today, and this verse came to mind,

or should I say a portion of this verse came to mind.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

1 Samuel 15:22

And Samuel said,

Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,

as in obeying the voice of the LORD?

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,

and to hearken than the fat of rams.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The portion that came to mind was :

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This spoke to me, don't know if it will to you or not.

It is also not a big thing, WHAT, I was mulling about.

I have to say, I do LOVE it ,when

the Lord brings to mind an answer from HIS WORD.

Happy Birthday Gina

Happy Birthday Sweet GINA

She is married to our son, Matt.

They are parents to our granddog "Husker" a Shiba-inu

Gina, is one of the most kind people I have ever met.

She is easy to be around.

She has a great decorating sense and a immaculate housekeeper.

She is a hard diligent worker, she helped my husband put the siding up on

our house one summer. She was working hard ,days and days in the heat.

Gina went to a Christian college and taught school,

she is now doing something different.

She loves to travel .and with Matt being a pilot, this sure makes it easier.

They used to live in our area and we would see them often,

now I can't even drive to their area without tearing up.

I love it, that she loves our son and even more so , that she loves the Lord.

Gina, we love you and miss you.

Mom and Dad

God Will Take Care of You

This morning, I had just finished reading my Bible.

I was thinking about many things on my heart.

Might have even crossed the line, into worry and fretting.

This hymn came to mind.

I don't know if ANYONE out there has things on their mind

or can tend to carry them , themselves.

It might be about you, a loved one or situation.

I hope the words to this Hymn speak to your heart.
