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...
Are we rooted in Christ?
Food for thought:
STATS: The average Christian spends 10 minutes a day with Christ. The average American spend 4 hours a day watching TV.
God doesn't want religious duty. He doesn't want a distracted, half hearted, "Fine, I'll read a chapter....now are you happy? attitude. God wants His Word to DELIGHT us, so much so that we meditate on it day and night.
In Psalm 1 He promises that those who do so are "Like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither; whatever He does prospers. (vs 3)
Statement made in the book called Crazy Love: People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him.
Question for us would be? What kind of relationship do we have with Christ?

Wow Cindy, beautiful and challenging post. Thank you for that. I cannot imagine what God could do if we all really took that seriously. We would live in a different world.

I really like your post today! What a great picture the bible paints for us bei g a tree that is rooted, producing fruit & not withering-that is how I want my life to be described!! Most days I am anxious & excited to dive into his word, other days I may not "fee" like it but I know that those are the days I "need" God's words the most!!!!
