Britton never ceases to amaze Me!

I have a good friend of mine who's Dad is very sick and in the Intensive Care right now. Britton came to work with me this morning and he and I were sitting down to send our friend, Doc , get well cards. Britton asked me what he should write on the card and I gave him some basic suggestions, so as to keep the subject light. I walked out of my office to go turn in some receipts and make copies and when I came back, this is what Britton had made. Reading it melted my heart... on the inside of the card, Britton wrote in big letters" God Loves You ... forever and forever and forever!" He wrote it in green marker ink and in parenthesis wrote "Green stands for eternal life. " Britton is more wise & compassionate than I give him credit for. Thank you so very much God for giving me such a precious gift in him and for using his heart to teach me!!

Discovering GOD'S POWER!!

This past week was our first VBS here in our new beautiful and adequately spacious church home. It was an incredible week- one that I can't truly describe accurately into words...

The most significant and sweetest highlight of the week was when NINE children gave their hearts to Christ!! I will never forget the sweet voice of the little angel that I prayed the salvation prayer with asking me" does that mean that Jesus will always be in my heart.....always...forever?"

It was overwhelming to see the way our volunteers joined together as the hands and feet - each using their gifts and talents to touch the hearts of our kids!! Each night there were specific tasks that needed to be taken care in order for the night to run smoothly and to be successful..those things were not only completed, they were done with cheerful hearts, skilled hands and immeasureable smiles!!!! I am so proud to be a part of a team where Mothers, Fathers, Grandmothers, Friends, Aunts and Neighbors joined together to make a difference in the life of a child!! I can't begin to thank each person who helped make it all possible... God sees each hand and heart and I know there were many jewels added to crowns this past week!! My cup runneth over!!

July Verse (is the summer almost over- seriously??)

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28 NIV).
