Just talked to Ma and had a good chin wag.
We talked about how wonderful she is and her mother was and great grandmother was.

Took her down memory lane.

She is showing the Indian girls how to make Rhubarb pie, she was heehawing her butt off when Jackie took a bite of straight rhubarb, Jackies butt squiched up LOL

She sounds like the best Great Grand “Mudder”of all!

I watched all that stuff, plus wringing the chicken’s neck, laughing as it ran around headless, watching as my grandmother then plucked it, cut it up (the pullybone was mine!) and cook the bird. And it didn’t disgust me. LOL!

Have a great week, MY. See ya in just a few weeks!

I loved seeing all the beautiful graphics and pictures of some of your Mothers. ALL of you are special and I hope you had a nice day with your kids, or phone calls or even with your 'fur-babies'. My kids came in Friday and we had a wonderful weekend.

My little dog was very sick this past week and went to the Vet three times. Thankfully he seems back to normal now but it was a scary time. ((HUGS)) to all of you.

Tell Your Story

May 11, 2015

Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim Your greatness. —Psalm 145:6 nlt

Michael Dinsmore, a former prisoner and relatively new Christian, was asked to give his testimony in a prison. After he spoke, some inmates came to him and said, “This is the most exciting meeting we’ve ever been to!” Michael was amazed that God could use his simple story.

In 1 Timothy, after Paul had charged Timothy to stay the course preaching the gospel (1:1-11), he shared his personal testimony to encourage the young man (vv.12-16). He told about God’s mercy in his own life. Paul said that he had mocked the Lord, but He changed him. In His mercy, God not only counted him faithful and gave him a job to do, but He also enabled him to do His work (v.12). Paul considered himself the worst of sinners, but God saved him (v.15).

The Lord is able! That is what Paul wanted Timothy to see, and what we need to see too. Through Paul’s testimony, we see God’s mercy. If God could use someone like Paul, He can use us. If God could save the worst of sinners, then no one is beyond His reach.

Our story of God’s work in our lives can encourage others. Let those around you know that the God of the Bible is still at work today!

Father, thank You for the salvation You offer and that no one, including me, is beyond the reach of Your mercy, grace, and transforming power. Help me share my story with others so that people can see Your love.

No one is beyond the reach of God’s love.

INSIGHT: Before Paul’s conversion he put Christian believers in prison and was present for at least one murder—that of Stephen, who was stoned for preaching about Christ (Acts 7:59–8:1). Yet after his conversion Paul sums up his former life in just three words, telling Timothy that he was “a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man” (1 Tim. 1:13). He then tells what God has done for him (vv. 13-17), reminding us that it is not who we were that is important; it is what God has done for us.
