It is Party Time!

 

 

Colossians 3:15 (The Message)


 15-17Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.


Isn't it wonderful when friends and family can get together and have fun? Our annual fall party is this weekend with a new title "Fall Blessings Party". Do you like it? I just felt like since there are so many disturbing things going on that it would be nice to focus on the good things, hence "Blessings". I am sure if I ask everyone here, they can come up with a blessing. We all have things to be thankful for. If they drove and didn't have to walk is a blessing. If they are able to eat and enjoy the food, that is another one. If they can hear the music, another one. You see the list goes on and on. Just being together with folks who love the Lord is a blessing to me! I hope no matter what is going on in your life that you will keep your focus on God. You know that old saying "if He brought you to it, He will bring you through it". I also hope your weekend will be wonderful. Be sure to check out Spiritual Sundays, you will be inspired!

In Him We are Complete!

Ron and I bought The Message. The more I read it, the more I like this translation. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Your party sounds so special! Spiritual Sundays is just one of the blessings in my life. I love reading everyone's posts. I am so fed by it! God bless you, Sis.

I feel blessed that I was able to attend your fall blessing party. The music was good, the food was good and most of all the fellowship was good. Thank you Shirley for being a part of my life. You and John are a great blessing to me.
