 Blessings

Look at this picture and tell me what you see.  I'll even narrow it down for you.  What do you see in the basket?  Did you guess flowers? If you did, you guessed wrong.  Perhaps I should say your not seeing what you think you are seeing.  What you are actually seeing are what appear to be flowers but in reality they are pine cones painted to look like flowers.  Aren't they beautiful just the same?!  Whether they were real, artificial or in this case, not flowers at all, they did bring much joy to me. It brought to mind, "Find joy in what is." These were made by a talented friend by the way.  ~Mindy

 Hey my friends -
What a beautiful day this is. This week I've been thinking about those religious leaders who set Jesus up for his crucifixion and how they felt afterwards when he kept showing up to different people.

Our song this week is by Natalie Grant & Cory Asbury "You Will Be Found".

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

 Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
