Love

  "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1Corinthians 13:4-7

There was a great service at Pentecostals of Traverse City yesterday. Two people got baptized and one received the Holy Ghost. I still have trouble with the church's name. When lived in Traverse City many years ago it was called "Greater Life". Yes, I still want to call it that.

Autumn

  "Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.” Acts 14:17

Yes, The Lord is the same in all seasons.

Blessings

"Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence." Psalm 21:6

I am so thankful for the blessings The Lord has given to me.

 

Spiritual Gifts

"Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,  to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines." 1Corinthians 12:7-11

 

Amazing Grace

 

This is one of my favorite hymns "Amazing Grace". Yes! God's grace is amazing. This lovely picture was drawn by Tricia Robinson

Please remember Sept.11 and pray for the families who lost loved ones.

Courage

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

The Lord will give us the courage we need.

 

Modesty

" I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes," 1Timothy 2:9

Yes, this is for me. I know I am supposed to wear skirts because it is modest, but I like my jeans, and I don't have to worry about them getting caught in the wheels of my wheelchair.
