Swinging :D

Seth!

In Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:11

Philippians 2:14-15
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.

This is one of my favorite verses. Well, guess I have A LOT of favorite verses but let's just say I really like this one. :D

It's very hard to do EVERYTHING without complaining or arguing. I think I complain more than I think I do. Even if I'm not complaining to someone, I think I complain to myself probably too much.

The next part is the best, though. The promise for not complaining or arguing is that we will become blameless and pure. Wow, that is a wonderful promise. Becoming blameless and pure is a very hard goal, but I know that God will help me!

This world really is crooked and depraved. Let's face it--it's falling apart. I am so glad that I have hope and that I know where I am going when my mission is done on this earth. I don't think I would make it from day to day here without being and knowing that I am a child of God. It's also so awesome to have other Christians in my life that encourage me and that are working for the same goal--winning others for Christ and glorifying God.

Matthew 5:14
You are the light of the world, a city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Elaina's Diorama

Elaina made this diorama of the story of Paul and Silas for AWANA.

Paul and Silas were in the jail cell praying and singing hymns when all of a sudden there was an earthquake so vilolent that the foundations of the prison were shaken. The prison doors flew open and the chains on the prisioners came loose. The jailer woke up and was about to kill himself because he was afraid the prisioners had escaped.

But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself, we're all here."

The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
He asked, "What must I do to be saved?"

Acts 16:31

"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved --you and your household."

Then they spoke to him about the Word of the Lord and to all the others in his house. The jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. The jailer brought them into his house and gave them a meal. He was filled with joy because he and his family had come to believe in God.

Taken from Acts 16:25-34

Psalm 100:5
For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.

God blessed us with a beautiful day today! It was really nice out all day and then we were blessed with this awesome sunset!

Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
