Congratulations to Megan at Rapp Family Aixtreme Life!
Please email your mailing address to kris.seidenkranz@lifeway.com and we'll get this in the mail for you!
Considering that I was in the Dominican Republic less than three weeks ago, I am more aware than ever of all the things I have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Things I have tended to take for granted such as air-conditioning, clean water straight from the tap, and electricity.
So this year as I sit around the dinner table, I will thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon my undeserving, often ungrateful self.
I'll thank Him for His love and sacrifice. I'll thank Him for His mercy. And I'll thank Him for blessing my life so richly with precious family and friends.
How about you? I'd love to hear what you are most thankful for this year.
That's right, ladies. LifeWay Women insists on helping get your 2009 off to a great start! Wouldn't it be fun to take the women at your church on a fun weekend retreat ... without having to plan that retreat from scratch? Why not let us do that for you?
Well, here's what we're going to do next in our efforts to spread the Christmas cheer.
If you've been looking for a great way to get your best girlfriends together for some fun, fellowship and some bigtime focus in God's Word - THIS retreat is your answer. In fact, a retreat like this may be the perfect ministry opportunity to reach out to unchurched friends in your community and get them involved!
This retreat kit is chocked full of terrific bible teaching by Beth, with some downright funny stuff from Living Proof Praise & Worship guy, Travis Cottrell. There are even some suggestions for games and goodtimes to help retreat leaders "fill in the gaps" between awesome teaching sessions from Beth on how to "love well".
And of course, there WILL be some discussion to share about hair products!
So, wait no longer. Comment on, girls. We'll hold the random drawing and announce the winner November 28!
Every once in awhile I'll read something that hits me right where I'm living.
And today, it was this:
"I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say - Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.... He simply asks me to have implicit faith in Himself and in His goodness. Self-pity is of the devil, if I go off on that line I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world. I have 'a world within the world' in which I live, and God will never be able to get me outside it because I am afraid of being frost-bitten." - Oswald Chambers
