Happy President's Day

Happy President's Day! 

Saturday, Feb 18, I didn't go out all day, got some things accomplished inside.

Sunday, I was to be picked up for church at 7:30 AM. I got up early and since I had stowed stuff in my shower for traveling, and I was right next to the bath house, I decided to take a shower there.  I put on my robe and since everybody in the park sleeps in on Sunday, I sneaked over to the shower.  Got all ready to jump in, turned the hot water on and waited, and waited and waited for it to get hot.  After a long time, and it didn't get hot, I put my stuff together to return to my house.  Then I heard a man's voice!  Oh, No!   It was the Ranger, asking if I had hot water.  Turned out that the pilot light had gone out and he smelled gas.  Well, by the time they fixed it I was on my way to church.  We got to church early again, Sis. Sharon is on the choir so she had to be early.  It was great, I met some more wonderful people and we fellow-shipped while the choir rehearsed.  Alice came early too, and she informed me that I was being taken to lunch with a group, after church.  Wow. 

The message was great!  "You can depend on God!"

Pastor McDuel

Col 2:6-10  When we have accepted God's Son, Jesus, we are a child of the most high God.  He will provide, (really!), and He will protect, (really!). We need to be strong and of good courage, (to be patient and trusting enough to let Him handle it).  He is capable, able and if it is His will, he will do it, He is the head of all principalities and powers!  We need to submit to God and He doesn't need our help!  Let God fight our battles. He can do so much better that we can.(I'm a witness!)

Don't let anyone interrupt God's plan for your life.

1.  Believe God's plan (includes sacrifice and selflessness)

2.  Commit to God's plan.

3.  Don't quit on God's plan. (Quitting is not an option!)

          A.  Believe, then perform it, (Let's make it happen!)

          B.  Quit questioning God's instructions. (Just do it!)

          C.  The power of God is Supernatural. (He is a rock, fortress, buttress                             and a powe above all enemies!)

          D.  Do what God says without full understanding.

Think on our ways.

God's ways are truth.

1.  We need to:

          A.  Live the truth.

          B.  Learn the truth.

          C.  Leave our old lifestyles that doesn't glorify God.

          D.  Lead

          E.  Weave ourselves into the Word of God

STAY WHERE GOD HAS PUT YOU!

After church, we fellow-shipped, and then the "lunch bunch" went to Friday's for lunch.  About ten Ladies, and we had a good time.  Alice gave me a beautiful turquoise top with sparkles.  She didn't even know I needed it.(because of the three I lost)Wow!

I had a salad that was wonderful, then the "trouble" came!  One of the ladies brought a home-made pecan pie.  Do you know how sweet they are?  Well I do, because I ate a piece. Opps!  After lunch Sharon brought me home.  Remember I told you I put half of the cheese cake in the freezer for my Grandson?  Well since I haven't heard from him, I "punished" him, by finishing it for dinner!

Oh, wretched woman, that I am!  When I intend to do good, I mess up!

Sugar is addictive!  I paid the price this morning, with achy joints and I gained a pound, Yikes!!!

Today, I am on punishment!  I can't be trusted with food temptations, I need to do better.  With the help of the Lord, I will.
