 Blessings


 This pretty Hollyhock is brought to you this morning from the home of Don and Wava. Quite a few of them have given in to the heat but this one refused to give up and chose to stand tall.  Thanks little hollyhock for our little reminder that we, as well, should do the same.

 Good Morning!

My dear friends-


I pray all of you are taking care of you in this oppressive heat.

This Sunday we're going to start a new series "Christ in the Old Testament" how specific individuals were forerunners of Jesus.

Our song this week is "How Can You Not" she was having a conversation with someone about nature and he said "how can someone not believe in God when they see this? So Leanna wrote this song.

See you Sunday
Pastor Donna
❤️


Special Music  "How Can You Not" by Leanna Crawford 

 

Lyrics
I see the sun rise in the morningAnd a million stars at nightI hear the birds, they can't stop singing hallelujahI see His goodness when I fall downAnd it's grace that picks me upEvery day, I can't stop singing hallelujah
How can you not see GodIn every little thing, in every little moment?How can you not feel loved?How can you not? How can you not?'Cause He's in the middle ofEvery little thing and every little momentHow can you not see God?How can you not? How can you not?
I see the sunset and I wonderIf He paints it just for meNobody else could make a world so beautifulHow could I question His love when it's everywhere I goWherever I look, I find another miracle
How can you not see GodIn every little thing, in every little moment?How can you not feel loved?How can you not? How can you not?'Cause He's in the middle ofEvery little thing and every little momentHow can you not see God?How can you not? How can you not?
Everything is evidence (ooh-ooh)Showing me that You exist (oh-oh)All creation singing hallelujahEverything is evidence (oh, everything)Showing me that You exist (He's God)All creation singing hallelujah
How can you not see GodIn every little thing, in every little moment?How can you not feel loved? Hmm-mm'Cause He's in the middle ofEvery little thing and every little momentHow can you not see God?How can you not? How can you not?
Oh, how can you not see God (everything is evidence)In every little thing, in every little moment? (Showing me that You exist)How can you not feel loved? (All creation singing)How can you not? How can you not? (Hallelujah)'Cause He's in the middle of (everything is evidence)Every little thing and every little moment (showing me that You exist)How can you not see God? (All creation singing)How can you not? How can you not?

Last Sunday was our Singspiration and Pie Social which made for a very enjoyable time!  There was quite the selection of yummy pies available for our sampling and some ice cream for those who wished to top it off.  We were content in the knowledge that being Sunday, all sugar and calories were simply nonexistent.  (Surely that's written law somewhere?!)    :) 

 

Behold......

 


 
 
 
 
Had to also share this beautiful vintage pie carrier.  One of those "love at first sight" kind of things.   :)


Everyone mentioned how much they enjoyed singing many of their favorite hymns.  We also had a fun little drawing (where everyone won) a package, each with a pie quote and a little somethin' somethin'

 Good times...  good memories...  great friends.

things that gold can't buy, so let's

have another cup of coffee and let's

have another piece of pie."

Wava and Don also had some pretty zinnias to share....

I love pictures!  Pictures have a way of placing you back in "remembered moments."  Sights, smells, sounds, nature, animals, all the feels.  Pictures allow us to recall life and all that it entails.

Thought it would be fun to close each week with little "snippets" of life that will perhaps spark a memory or at the very least bring a smile.

*I do not own the pictures.




Have a great week
