Thank you God for June 7, 2015!

  1. God giving us His very self in the Body and Blood of Christ and an example for us to follow!
  2. The Eucharist!
  3. My sister and her niece came to church with us! Hurray!
  4. People at church coming up to me to ask about my health and to tell me that they are praying for me!
  5. Had a very meaningful and thoughtful conversation with my new friend at church… mutual sharing of thoughts on God. He even shared with me what he wrote in his faith diary yesterday–“God, please tell me what belongs to me on earth.” We shared with each other our thoughts on this and it was clear to both of us that nothing belongs to us and that everything truly belongs  to God. Then we talked about how everything is left on earth when we die and how only the spirit remains, only love remains. “For we brought nothing into the world, just as we shall not be able to take anything out of it. If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with that. Those who want to be rich are falling into temptation and into a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. But you, man of God, avoid all this. Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Compete well for the faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called when you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:7-12)” I am blessed to have him as my friend, because we are both unafraid to be completely honest and open with each other about our thoughts and feelings, even if we might disagree with the other. Our conversations are always held in truth, which I am grateful for.
  6. Sandwiches, cole slaw, fries, quesadillas, salsa, chips, popcorn, and congee!
  7. The grouper we got yesterday was so huge, we were able to enjoy 1/2 of the body yesterday, the other 1/2 of the body today for dinner, and use the gigantic fish head for soup! We were able to use every part of the fish and every application of it was absolutely delicious!
  8. The very peaceful nap I took this afternoon and the dreams I had. I dreamt that I sold something on eBay. Then when I woke up and checked my email, I found out that I sold a bottle of mouthwash on eBay while I was napping! Yay!
  9. Won a $15 gift card to a restaurant I love and walk by all the time!
  10. Being able to tell my aunt “Thank You” for all of the goodies she made for us! It was so much that we were able to share them with 6 other families at church!
  11. Work opportunities for my parents
  12. A fully-stocked refrigerator and freezer!

  1. I remember saying to a minister once “I didn’t understand your sermon” .His response was maybe it wasn’t for you! I think our sermon yesterday was for you because the gist was God expects us to believe some crazy things. He asked us to be crazy for Christ.
    It made me uncomfortable but you are on fire!
    Love the idea of the enormous fish!
    I dreamed I was smoking! Yikes! Can’t go there!

  2. Mary Ellen, you have such a gift of giving encouragement! Thank you for sharing it with me! God bless you!
