I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
Beth Moore tells a story about a neighbor that was diagnosed with a mass on her side which turned out to be cancer. The neighbor was a registered nurse and she and her husband had just had their first child. The couple was not saved but during the trials and tribulation of this dreaded disease both husband and wife came to know Jesus.
With time at hand the mom decided to prepare her child for her death. She told him that she was too sick to stay on earth because she could not get well here but if she went to heaven to live with Jesus she could be well there and would see him and his daddy one day.
She told her son all about God and the love of God. The morning of her homecoming the husband knocked on Beth's front door to tell her the news. Beth immediately went over the neighbors home and felt compelled to anoint her body and her surrounding with oil.
In the meantime everyone was doing what they could to keep the little boy occupied so he would not see the Paramedics taking his mommy out of the room.
As a lady paramedic was walking in the little boy rounded the corner and pulled at her pants. He looked up at her and said, "Are you God? Beth said I will never forget the words of this women....
She leaned down and made eye contact with the little boy and said, "No, but I work for God".
Oh...that so needs to be us as Christians...That should be our mindset.....WE WORK FOR GOD!
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. 1 Corinthians 3:9

This is beautiful, I need to remember each morning that I work for God, I am a bond servant whose life belongs to him. Gosh if I had that attitude each day I think some of my choices would be so much different
