And a Blessed Lord's Day to you MEG - those are some beautiful Irises you're posting this evening. Have your irises come out? Mine are about a week away.

[MEG33]

Thank you, Conor..I don’t have enough sun for Irises..though I had some beauties at other homes..I love them..I started collecting Iris pictures this winter anticipating spring thank yous. I love to search the internet for my fantasy gardens.
;o)

[ConorMacNessa]

And awesome fantasy gardens they are! I need to pull and divide my irises - they're not putting on a very good show this year.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[MEG33]

My daughter got some of my late MIL’s Irises...A bit of lifting and dividing had them bloom well last year..I can see my MIL now teaching me how to cut them when dividing. I hated doing it!
She and my father in law had quite a beautiful collection.

[ConorMacNessa]

Reminds me of the time almost fifty years ago when my grandmother taught me how to prune roses - lessons that still benefit me today.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

READ: 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10

From you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. —1 Thessalonians 1:8

Marketing professionals have known for years that a product recommendation from a friend is among the most effective means of advertising. That’s why many large companies recruit consumers who receive free samples of their products along with the encouragement to recommend them to family and friends. One major US corporation regularly sends coupons and products to 725,000 selected people called “connectors,” who spread the word to others.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is more than a product. It is God’s great plan for bringing people into a living, vital relationship with Him. But the gospel is conveyed most effectively by example and by word of mouth. Paul commended the Christians at Thessalonica for their exemplary living and their effective witness: “From you the word of the Lord has sounded forth . . . . Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything” (1 Thess. 1:8). Because their lives had been radically changed (v.9), they found it impossible to keep silent about their faith.

A university professor who trains advertising professionals says, “It’s human nature to talk about things that excite us.” God’s grace is all the incentive we need to recommend our Savior to a friend.

I’ll tell the world how Jesus saved me
And how He gave me a life brand new;
And I know that if you trust Him
That all He gave me He’ll give to you. —Fox

If you want others to know what Christ will do for them, tell them what He has done for you.
Bible in One Year: 1 Kings 16-18; Luke 22:47-71

Good Morning Mayor.The song “ I Love To Tell The Story” came to mind as I read this thought this morning.

Blessings for a brand new week.
