Strength of Character!

It's easy to be appreciative,
when all is going well
when there is no conflict
upon which to dwell.

But, when times get tough,
we often aren't thankful
our attitudes don't reflect
the reasons we are grateful.

It's through the storms of life,
where we can learn to start
how to grow and develop
gratefulness in our heart.

So when taken off course,
don't think of it as detour
be thankful God's creating in you
a stronger strength of character!

A Different View of Halloween

"What is it like to be a Christian?"

 

"It is like being a pumpkin.

God picks you from the patch,

brings you in,

and washes all the dirt off of you.

 

Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.

He removes the seeds of doubt,

hate,

greed,

etc.,

 

...and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His

light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

 

 

God Bless
