food for thought

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
--Galatians 5:22-23

One evening, an older Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a terrible battle inside every person. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside of us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, lies, pride, and superiority.”

His grandson asked, “What is the other wolf?”

The elderly man said, “It is good?peace, joy, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”

The man’s young grandson thought for a moment and then asked, “Which wolf wins?”

The wise Cherokee man replied, “The one you feed the most.”

Church Summer Picnic

This evening we had our annual Summer church picnic. It was hosted at the Lewis home. They are great host who often have the youth group over also, since they have a lovely in-ground swimming pool it was the perfect location on this very very hot and humid August day.
There was plenty of good food and fellowship, along with lots of fun, check out these pictures and see why I am inspired to SMILE!

Sister's in Christ

Speakers at Sisters in Christ

This was my second year attending the Sisters in Christ meeting. I was so excited that my mom attended with me, along with about 30 other women from our church. It was a great evening singing with the worship band and listening to God speak through Women from the southern end of Lancaster that formed the Sisters in Christ meeting about 7 years ago. There are a few things that I learnt there this year. #1 YIELD = Your Inner Ego Laid Down Wow what a great Acrostic. #2 We need to start our day with time in God's word. Before we get sidetracked with the chores that await us. And #3 We need to faithfully pray for each other. By this I mean A deeper prayer time then what I have been doing. If we practice these things We can be a light in Lancaster County for God.

And that is what inspires me to smile!

I had the most fun this past weekend! My mother and went to a ladies Church weekend retreat! The theme was irrepressable hope. We watch excellent speakers from the women of faith conference. My mom and I also slipped out for part of the morning to attend a Red Hat brunch not far away that was scheduled for the same weekend. Talk about eating too much good food in one weekend! Any way from the few pictures I took I think you will be able to see the fun time that we had. The funniest moment was when a guest panel of experts were to join us to give us some advise on the things we had went over that weekend. Well they were three of the men from our church dressed like women. We were all roaring with laughter! Watch the video is all I can say!
and I was diffently inspired to smile ALOT this weekend!
