HAVE WE EVER SEEN A FLOWER IN A BAD MOOD OR FOR THAT MATTER, AN UGLY FLOWER ..... CONSIDER WHAT THE LORD HAS TO SAY AND MAYBE WE WILL LEARN WHY ..... " Listen , O heavens and I will speak ; hear , O earth , the words of MY mouth . Let MY teaching fall like rain and MY words descend like dew , like showers on new grass , like abundant rain on tender plants. " DEUTERONOMY 32:1-2 ..... SPRINGTIME IS A SEASON OF NEW GROWTH WITH BUDS SHOOTING UP EVERYWHERE .....THESE BUDS TURN INTO BEAUTIFUL PLANTS AND FLOWERS ..... THERE IS GREEN GRASS ALL AROUND US AND EVERYTHING WE SEE FROM GODS CREATION IS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD ..... BEAUTY SPRINGS FORTH AS THE LILLIE'S AND TULIPS SING OUT ..... NOTHING WE ACQUIRE WHILE WE ARE HERE ON THE EARTH WILL EVER COMPARE TO THE BEAUTY AND CONTENTMENT THAT COMES WHEN THE LORD GOD DOES THE PLANTING AND THE WATERING ..... GOD CONFIRMS THIS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHEN HE SAYS ..... " Consider how the lillies grow . They do not labor or spin . Yet I tell you , not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these . '' LUKE 12:18 ..... LIFE IS HARD ..... IT POSES MANY CHALLENGES BEFORE US ..... WHEN WE COME TO KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL IT GIVES US A SENSE OF RELIEF , NOT BECAUSE WE GIVE UP BUT BECAUSE WE GIVE IN .....WE GIVE IN TO HIS PLAN FOR WHAT HE WANTS FOR US AND HOW HE WANTS US TO LIVE ..... THIS UNDERSTANDING GIVES US THE ASSURANCE THAT HE CAN AND WILL CHANGE OUR HEARTS AND LIVES ..... SO WE CAN ASK OURSELVES TODAY WHO'S DOING THE PLANTING AND THE WATERING IN OUR OWN LIVES ....................................SUMMER

hi summer! i answered your questions in the comments, but wanted to e-mail you , too in case you didn't see them. the e-mail got returned to me, so i'm sorry to leave it here!
ReplyDeletesummer--there are really no rules. you can do whatever kind of get together with as many people giving as much as you'd like! to link up, i'm asking people to commit to at least $200. and to have the party sometime in May. as soon as you've collected the money, you donate directly on Anika's Reeces Rainbow page. http://reecesrainbow.org/anika-23 the funds will then be held for when her family finds her! =)
would LOVE to have you join in!! thank you!!
Hello Love , We will check this out with the group of people we share prayer with when we meet again and if this is something that we all agree upon then we will do it .... I personally would love to do this .... Thank you for taking the time out to bring me the answers .... May you have a joyful day and please remember our southern neighbors by lifting their troubles and needs to the LORD
ReplyDeleteSummer, thanks for visiting the Ruby for Women e-zine up on my blog (ajwrites4him.blogspot.com). I heard about Ruby through an online ad they put out requesting writers. I started writing with them a little over a year ago and then volunteered to serve as assistant editor when their previous one left. You can read more about us at www.rubyforwomen.com. We're always looking for more writers. We don't pay right now, but we do promote accepted work across the web and in the magazine!
