How time flies! Okay let's catch up.
Sabbath school class, Please read the first 7 chapters of 2nd Chronicles and look for similarities between the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness and now the building of the temple by Solomon.
First scrapbook club of the month will now meet on the first Tuesday of the month and this next month we will make a clear acrylic card and play with alcohol inks and then we will all play with my Everyday Button Bits stamp set from Paper Trey Ink. So bring your blank cards, and button box as well as glue dots to adhere buttons. Then you will have cards to take home and give to those you love.
Second scrapbook club of the month did the acrylic, alcohol ink card and enjoyed learning the tecnique last night. What we will do next month for 2nd class I haven't figured out yet. But I've been thinking gold leaf would be fun to place with.
My goal this week is to figure out how to get pictures on this blog. I have a great picture of Speckles taking a siesta on the bench outside patio door, that Pat got for me. And I'd like to put some card samples on here so you can be inspired.
The nanking cherries are blooming! The hay field is turning green and in Delta the forsythia is blooming! Today we had alternate sun, rain, sleet and thick ploppy snow through the day, nothing stuck except the moisture into the soil so I'll not whine.
My devotion this morning was good. I'm still reading Cheque Book of the Bank of Faith by Charles Spurgeon. It's a lot like the Bible; new stuff to find as I go through life. It's based on Phillipians 3:21
"Often when we are racked with pain, and unable to think or worship, we feel that this indeed is 'the body of our humiliation'; and when we are tempted by the passions which rise from the flesh we do not think the word 'vile' at all too vigorous a translation. Our bodies humble us; and that is about the best thing they do for us. Oh, that we were duly lowly, because our bodies ally us with animals, and even link us with the dust!"
"But our Savior, the Lord Jesus, shall change all this. We shall be fashioned like his own body of glory. This will take place in all who believe in Jesus. By faith their souls have been transformed, and their bodies will undergo such a renewal as shall fit them for their regenerated spirits. How soon this grand transformation will happen we cannot tell; but the thought of it should help us bear the trials of today, and all the woes of the flesh. In a little while we shall be as Jesus is now. No more aching brows, no more swollen limbs, no more dim eyes, no more fainting hearts. The old man shall be no more a bundle of infirmities, nor the sick man a mass of agony. 'Like unto his glorious body.' What an expression! Even our flesh shall rest in hope of such a resurrection!"
I hope this gave you peace, as it did me.
