 Blessings!

 

Captured a glimpse Saturday of the early morning sun. Even though it wasn't brightly shining, it was still pretty.  The decrease of sunlight in the winter months can sometimes bring on those "winter blues," leaving us feeling a little blah at times.  This brought to mind a stitchery I made several years ago, 18 years ago to be exact.  How true these words are (whether it be spring, winter, summer or fall), when we find ourselves in those "winter blue" times of our lives. ~ Mindy

I believe in the sun when it's not shining, I believe in love even when I feel it not, I believe in God even when he is silent.

Dear friends, this week we are back with the Apostle Paul as he arrives back in Jerusalem- even though- many tried to talk him out of it- they only saw bad things happening in his future.  But Paul was resolute God was faithful and this was the path God was calling him to take. Citizen Way challenges us with "I Will"

Blessings!!

Percy's Tidbit

What we say, how we treat others, and how we spend our time, reveals a lot about who we are, what we believe, and who or what we serve.

May Jesus be glorified through it all. ~ Amy Klutinoty
