 Blessings!

We received a lot of snow on Thursday for sure.  I decided I would set my pretty flowers in front of the window, this way, even though I wasn't happy about the snow, I could focus on admiring my flowers, which are beautiful anytime of the year.  A little reminder to myself to be thankful for the blessings of each day.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."  Romans 15:13

Amazing Grace

My Dear Friends,

Last Sunday on my way to church this song came on and I cranked it all the way up and knew this was the song for this week.  This week Paul finally makes it to Rome.  I can just hear Paul singing the words, "I speak Jesus."

We conclude Acts this week and next week start the Lenten series.

Remember Dana and family in prayer.

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday ~

Pastor Donna
