Making Time For Sunday

Keeping the calendar clear to focus on Sunday:  Church, service .. working in the pre-school children's church, prepping a meal for the family all speak about love.

Today we're gathering as a family at both church and 'grandma/pa's' home for a shared meal.  Everyone contributing to make the day more relaxing. 

On the menu:  Elk chili, corn bread with honey butter, garden salad. 

Time spent in God's Word ... and with the family ... priceless.

Oh, and if you're one of my kiddos and didn't get the memo .. yes, you're invited over for dinner at 4:00. 

I leave you with this quote for the day:

"So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet."
James 4:10 ~ The Message Bible
