In Everything




As I'm preparing for Thanksgiving and the beginning of the holiday season, I was looking for some scriptures to read and reflect and came across this one. In Everything...interesting the choice of words ... it's not FOR everything give thanks...it's IN everything. Paul is writing that through everything we must give thanks, we must be joyful and pray without ceasing. So I thank God now for all he is doing in my life, I am thankful for where I am right now and I know he's still working on me.

Wishing everyone a joyful and thankful Thanksgiving!

With Love,

Summer

Holiday Season begins


It's that time of year...one I used to look so forward to spending time with family and friends. Part of me still looks forward to it but then there is that tug at my heart. It's not the same. Marc won't be here again. It's been 4 years since I saw his smiling face. ...funny...I don't know which blog I should be writing this one under...I want this to be a joyful season. A season of Remembrance, A season of Life. My prayer for this holiday season is just Peace. Peace in my heart, Peace in my family, Peace for all those that are suffering. Pastor Steve talked today in his service about Living to Give. I want that to be my new mission in life. God is my number 1, he is my boss, he is my everything. As soon as we put anything before him, we are cursed. He is the One and Only and we can find comfort and peace in him. So, I'm starting now, looking for opportunities, God's opened doors, for me to give to others. Not just at the holidays and I'm not talking about simple gifts. Giving of yourself for others.

In Prayer

With Love,

Summer
