Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache. Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices. These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks. We always do something extra for our birthdays but was a tad late celebrating mine this year together due to other appointments that was a must. We always have a gr...

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!!!!
