Spring Garden

Your Garden

First, plant five rows of peas: Preparedness, Promptness, Perseverance, Politeness, and Prayer. Next to them plant three rows of squash: Squash Gossip, Squash Criticism, and Squash Indifference. Then five rows of lettuce: let us be Faithful, Let us be Unselfish, Let us be Loyal, Let us be Truthful, Let us love one Another. And no garden is complete with out turnips: Turn up for church, Turn up with a Smile, Turn up with Determination.

The Soldier

I am reading E.M. Bounds book on prayer, the chapter I'm in right now is titled "The Christian and Spiritual Warfare." I wanted to share a couple of exerpts from it.

" There is no primrose path, no rose-scented flirting. From start to finish, it is war. The Christian warrior is compelled from the hour he first draws his sword to 'Endure hardness as a good soldier' (2 Tim. 2:3)....What a misconception many people have of the Christian life... He scarecely seems to realize that the world , the flesh, and the devil will oppose his onward march. He hardly realizes that they will defeat him utterly , unless he gives himself to constant vigliance and unceaseing prayer!...The Christian soldier must be as intense in his praying as in his fighting, for his victories will depend much more on his praying than on his fighting."

He is risen!!

Happy Easter to all!!!

Even a little child understands

When I got back from my trip, Eric came running up to me saying that he had something to tell me. But than he got all shy about it. I finally got him to whisper it in my ear. The news he told me was sooo exciting. He said " Emmy,I accepted Jesus into my heart" !! I was thrilled to know that my little 5 yr. old brother understood the concept that ALL are sinners in need of a Savior, and that Christ died for him to pay the penalty. And now he as assurance that he is going to heaven when he dies.
It amazes me that God made something this important,simple enough for a child and yet so deep we can never know everything it contains.

Laughter is the best med.

I went out to find a friend,
But could not find one there,
I went out to be a friend
And friends were everywhere!

It takes 64 muscles to make a frown, but only 13 to make a smile.
Why work overtime?
