  • We spent this past weekend together.  We visited Twin Falls in South Carolina.  This is a easy hike to a pretty waterfalls.  The weather was warm and so pretty which made it so enjoyable.
  • We enjoyed scenic driving on back roads.P1050057
  • The next day was a contrast as we drove to Charlotte to the IMAX theatre to view “The Alps”
  • It was fun and good and did not have too much garbage about “millions and millions” of years ago.
  • We ended with a quiet evening at home talking and sharing.  God has been so good to us and His blessings cannot be numbered.  So thankful for this 35 years.

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise.  The world needs our practical witness of a holy life.  and we need to give our personal wealth.  God does not need our gifts-but we need to give.  The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson

He first loved me. He sent His only begotten son to die in my place. He forgives all my sin He saved me by His shed blood He has never left nor forsaken me. He is ever merciful and His merc...
