Gifts


"I long to see you that i may impart some spiritual gift to make you strong--that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith." That blew me away the first time i saw it recently. In fact i was wondering when the Lord had slipped it in my Bible! But I'm sure it's been right there all along in Romans 1 :11-12. If I am reading it right, every time you and I talk to another believer about what the Lord is teaching us or what He has done in our lives or letting them know when we see God working in them or even when another believer sees Jesus in us,we are giving the other person a spiritual gift ! ME and You able to give someone a spiritual gift-WOW I just had to share that and maybe ,in doing so ,someone will have gotten a gift- I know I did just sharing it.

a great quote


"From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again." --Bernard of Clairvaux

We were blessed with a trip to Hawaii from my sweetie's big brother and still this quote is so true. I am thankful for our trip but still only the Lord can feed our hearts. I want to add a link here to a sermon i heard yesterday but it won't be online until Wednesday but if the link (go to site and click on arrow next to 7-26-08 Alan Hlavka to listen online . You can download it also )is here and you get a chance it is so worth your time. I needed the reminder. Gratefully, Libby
