A Couple of Matters to Take Care Of

1) If you would like to comment on my blog but aren't familiar with this process all you have to do is sign up for a blog spot account. You can do this by visiting www.blogspot.com and press the "create a blog" button. fill in the blanks it gives you and then don't worry about the blog you only need an account to comment on others blogs! hopefully this helps!

2) I would like to express my thanks for all of you without the generosity and prayers of many this this would not be possible. Thank you all so much.

Now back to the norm:

These past two days have been rather relaxed which is just what I needed. My energy level here is much weaker here. It seems like everyday I home back to the house and just drop! Thursday I was able to spend the day in the word. Oh what a beautiful book it is. My readings focused on love, the love that was given to us, the love that we just also give, and the love that makes all possible. I prefer the message bible, I feel as though I can relate better to my readings that way. In one of my readings a read a passage that said that if we do not love God, we do not know God. This isn't a relatively new thing to me but then I reapplied it to others. How many people do I know that I do not love but claim to "know" them. We all have people that rub us the wrong way and because of this love is almost impossible to find for them but how can you say you truly know them if you cannot love them. We are all made in God's image and are beautiful because of Him. Do we not fall in love with the beauty around us and the beauty in others? So, if this beauty can be found almost everywhere it would seem just ridiculous to think it does not exist in the ones we do not love.

Today, I volunteered at Shore Office Hub and made a display for the "Armor of God" lessons for the children. I love hands on work and the joy it gives me to see a project through!! They looked pretty good too, if I may say so myself! : ) thanks again Mrs. Beltz! A day as a servant not a learner but as a servant makes us humble and appreciate everything we have so much more!

God is beautiful and magnificent. The things I'm learning here could never have been explained to me. You can not teach knowledge nor experience, you cannot show a child how to blend into cultures if they are not also made to blend, it is like trying to paint with all the colors of the wind.

I thank God for each and every day He has given me and each and every person He has put in my life and continues to do so.
