Ladies In Fellowship Together: LIFT October 19

LIFT on October 19, 2011. We're So Glad You Came!

Melissa's skillful hands
showed us how to crochet.

We made loops,

We made chains,
We pulled through,

We crossed over,

And SOME of us crocheted!!

Thanks to Melissa Fossey for her wonderful effort to teach us crochet. A lot of the ladies quickly picked up on the craft while others went home with the provided needle and yarn to keep trying if they wanted.

But, we all had a good time together. Bright sunflowers and chocolate filled favors meet each lady. Many women and children filled the room. Lots of chit-chat and laughter were heard. It was a wonderful place to be!

We had all levels from beginner to advanced.
There seemed to be plenty of people available to help.

PENCILS and POSTAGE STAMPS Devotional

Thank you Lori for your inspirational devotional after our prayer time.
Like a Pencil:
1. Everything you do will a mark

Important reminders from a
simple pencil and postage stamp

2. You can always correct the mistakes you make.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
3. What’s inside is what’s important. Just like a pencil is useless without the lead.
“Instead, your beauty should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” 1 Peter 3: 4
4. In life, you will go through painful sharpenings that will make you stronger.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” James 1: 2,3
5. To be the best (pencil) you must allow yourself to be held and guided.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8
“The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.”
Isaiah 58:11
Like a Postage Stamp:
1. Endurance: The postage stamp sticks to something until it gets there.
2. Our destination is eternality.
3. Follow the Lord to the end
4. Don’t quit.
