Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

Today I learned that my aunt passed away. She was always so kind to me and always greeted me with a sweet smile, hugs and kisses, even when I got older and would only see her every few years. I keep thinking of how she would always remind me that she and I have the same birthday. I loved hearing her say that when I was a child; perhaps it was just that she made me feel so special like we had a unique and special connection because we shared the same birthday. I don’t know, I guess it seems silly thinking about how excited I would get about her as a child. As we grow older we don’t think it’s so important to hear those same things over and over until the day comes when that person is no longer with us to say those words. I’ll hold on to those words and seeing her sweet smile and the warmth that I still feel when I think of her kind heart . Aunt Faye, I wish you perfect and peaceful rest in the loving arms of our Lord in heaven.

As believers we are instructed in God's word to come together for fellowship with Christ and one another.

Christian community should not be about being in a social clique and it should extend beyond attending church. What it should be about is a body of believers coming together as one in Christ to share, love and care for one another. We should come together as the body of Christ to pray and worship with one another. We also should come together to help meet the needs of others. If we study the meaning of Jesu...

Great time at the single women's group

This morning I had the pleasure of attending a single women's group. I was so moved by the women who spoke today. I thank God for encouraging us in our faith, strength, direction and patience. God reminded us that when we yield to His Spirit and remain in relationship with Him, we can be content in all things and all circumstances. God has purpose for each of us and today I believe He gave us more confidence and boldness to pursue our purpose in Christ.
