Scripture Sunday 6

Wow I am so sorry. I have been completely neglecting you guys. Any way, guess what time it is.   Drum roll please, Scripture Sunday!!!!!!!                                                                                              Today I want to talk about Jesus as the vine and us as the branches. Jesus is the true vine and if we are spiritually connected to him, we will bear fruit. 
        If we are not well... God the Father will cut us off, and we will  "be burned" (John 15:1-8). God is our farmer and will "prune" or give us trials in our lives, to better us. When we go through hard times, God is "pruning" us so we will bear more fruit. 
   Thank you all for reading my blog. 
  

Just a reminder, when I reach 10 followers I will do a great give away!

Scripture Sunday #5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I wanted to talk about how we take a lot of things for granted. Like our freedom, our food, our family, and much more. We need to thank God often for what he has blessed us with. 

              What if you woke up today with only what you thanked God for Yesterday.

That is definitely something to think about. I know I need to thank him more often. How 'bout you? Please let me know what you think. Thank You!

A sad story

So I wanted to share a story I read the other day. I hope you enjoy.

   I'll never forget Easter 1946. I was fourteen, my little sister Ocy twelve, and my older sister Darlene sixteen. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what to do without many things. 
  My Dad died five years before, leaving Mom with seven school children to raise, and no money. By 1946 my older sisters were married, and my brothers left home. 
  A month before Easter, the pastor of our church announced that a special Easter offering would be taken to help a poor family. He asked everyone to save and give sacrificially. When we got home, we talked about what we could do. We decided to buy fifty pounds of potatoes and live on them for a month. This would allow us to save twenty dollars of  our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we kept our electric lights  turned out as much as possible, we'd save money on that month's electricity bill.  Darlene got as many house and yard cleaning jobs as possible, and both of us babysat for everyone we could. For fifteen cents, we could buy enough cotton loops to make three pot holders. We made twenty dollars on pot holders.That month was the best in our lives. Every day we counted the money to see how much we saved. At night we'd sit in the dark and talk about how the poor family would use the money. We had about eighty people in church, so we figured what ever we gave there would be twenty times that much.  The day before Easter Ocy and I walked to the grocery store and got three crisp twenty dollar bills and one ten dollar bill for all our change. That night we were so excited we could hardly sleep.............I heard some teenagers talking about the Smith girls still in their old dresses but we didn't care. Late that afternoon the pastor drove up and gave momma an envelope. When he left we looked in the envelope. There was three crisp twenty dollar bills one ten dollar bill an seventeen one dollar bills. That Easter day I found out we were poor. Next week at church there was a missionary speaker who said he needed one hundered dollars to help those in Africa. After we put the envelope in the offering and the missonary counted it. He said we raised a little over 100 dollars and that we must have a rich family in our church. Then it hit us. We put in eighty-seven dollars. We were the rich family.

Isn't  that sad? I hope I can be a better giver than that. Anyway.   
What do you think?
