God Bless America.
I took this photo Saturday at the Linden Church Cemetery in Atchison County, Missouri. The flags were so pretty and you can see the church there in the background. ~Mindy

The Armor of God
Leader: 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
All: 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your
stand against the devil’s schemes.
Leader: 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this
dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms.
All: 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the
day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after
you have done everything, to stand.
Leader: 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around
your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
All: 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes
from the gospel of peace.
Leader: 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with
which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
All: 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God.
Leader: 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of
prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on
praying for all the Lord’s people.
All: 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be
given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the
gospel…

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

Did You Know?
I was "today" years old when I discovered a heart in one of our church windows. I was sitting in my car enjoying the beauty of the stained glass when suddenly I saw a heart staring back at me bringing to mind the song - "Jesus Loves me this I know, for the Bible (and window😉) tells me so."
Here's a couple of pictures of the window. The first picture is for you to see if you can find it.
In the second picture, I've outlined the heart. ~Mindy
After uploading the picture I've since discovered another little heart to which the arrow is pointing. Maybe it's a bonus heart for finding the big heart? 😊 Either way, I'm gonna take both hearts as a God wink!
Have a great week
