Sharing it Sunday


Well here it is Sunday and we over slept, now you tell me Satan is not on a rampage, just unreal, so thought I would put this down for today, all is well here, and this just reminded me of somebody today. Be Blessed.


Fred Somebody, Thomas Everybody, Susan Anybody, and Joe Nobody were neighbors, but they were not like you and me. They were odd people and most difficult to understand. The way they lived was a shame.


All four belonged to the same church, but you would not have enjoyed worshipping with them.


EVERYBODY went fishing on Sunday or stayed home to visit with friends. ANYBODY wanted to worship but was afraid SOMEBODY wouldn’t speak to him. So guess who went to church – NOBODY.


Really, NOBODY was the only decent one of the four. NOBODY did the visitation. NOBODY worked on the church building.


Once they needed a Sunday school teacher. EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY would do it, and ANYBODY thought SOMEBODY would do it. And you know who did it? That’s exactly right – NOBODY!


It happened that a fifth neighbor (an unbeliever) moved into the area. EVERYBODY thought SOMEBODY should try to win him for Christ. ANYBODY could have made an effort. You probably know who finally won him: NOBODY!


This little parable brings to focus again the fact that each of us is personally responsible for God’s work. If we leave it for somebody or everybody or anybody, nobody will do it. Let’s work till Jesus comes!

Such a Marvelous Monday 

It is so pretty outside, such a bright sun shining, hurts your eyes. The fishing trip of my son and dh went really well, they caught about 17 Brim, so our freezer is doing well, and kinda bulging, (giggles)We had a great Sunday, Chuck got to teach the men a gain, the man who usually teaches is off on sick leave, he had a hip replacement, so they ask Chuck to do it, he is doing well, but spent too much time in the sun Saturday fishing, it took its toll on him, give him allergies again, and wore him out.

One of my students in SS give me a sitting hen, it is so cute, she knows I collect them and I thought that was so sweet of her, we did a good lesson on Elijah and the widow, I asked them how many of them would give their last morsel of food for a stranger, only one said well if God told me to I would, praise God for one right answer eh.
Last night one of our Missionary's came and preached, he was real good and did an allegory about fishermen, from Mark where Jesus called the men to be fishers of men. Was different and he compared the folks in churches with various fish, was interesting for sure. Never been compared to a fish before, heehee, oh well it takes all kinds.
Today we have been busy in the yard, watering the garden, and I was doing my potted plants with fresh dirt and moved some into the flower garden around my tree, we had put leaves in them to protect them from the cold and it did really good, they have a head start and are doing really good, have some new shoots coming up too. Chuck was blowing leaves and picking them up to put in his compost pile. Our garden is doing great, and my rose bushes are started to sprout too, we bought some climbing roses and put them by the fence, so hoping they do good, and bloom this year.
Well that is about all in my world for now, so what are you up to my blogging friends, share with us, and let us know how and what you are up to. Be blessed and be a blessing, God loves you.

God Just Keeps on Giving and Giving



Well another day, another weekend is upon us, we went out in the boat again yesterday, we caught 15 Brim, good size ones too;
and guess what? Give up? I caught the fishing pole Chuck lost in the River Monday, yeah, now only God can do something like that, 
I cast my line in the water, well it went to close to the boat so I was reeling in, when I brought up a line, I was trying to get it off my line when Chuck said, no, try and bring it in, it may be my pole, me of little faith said, I am sure, and WOW when I reeled it in his pole was attached to it, the hook and line still on it, but the fish had got away, we were amazed and said the lord had to do this, he must of wanted you to have that pole and reel. LOL Thought you would enjoy that little blessing. Stranger things have happened, been a while though.


Today we hit a few yard sales, we been looking for a cordless phone, we priced them at Wal Mart and they were from 28 to 50
dollars, the ones with answering machines on them; well today we
found one just like we been looking at and it was 3 dollars not 40.
Praise God the man said if it did not work to bring it back and he would give us our money back, well we brought it home and plugged it in, and great news, it works good, I have it all set up now, I hate the cord ones, our other cordless died, and so we had the cord one hooked up, love the cordless. We got a few other things too, was a good trip and good day.


Well it is a fabulous Friday, and I am back home, tired, but ate and now going to cook some lima beans and rice for supper, make some good ole corn bread too, yummy, is it supper yet, lol hope you all have a very blessed weekend, and know Jesus loves you and so do I.

We had a very good and restful Monday, Chuck went down to the river for a couple hours, and caught several nice Brim, so that is our dinner tonight, he fillets them so it will be pure eating, no picking the bones out. Here is a photo of these pretty fish.


Makes me want to go and catch a few myself, this is Brim season now, and we can stock our freezer while they are biting. 


It is so relaxing and fun out fishing, no sounds and just sweet smells of the wild Jasmine and Honeysuckle all around us. Nice, serene and so peaceful, like not much noise where we live anyhow, but on the water is even better.
Chuck got up to stretch and before he could grab his pole a fish pulled it in the water, took off with it, he has about 40 of them, so no great loss, and he still had 2 others to continue fishing with, but it must of been a big fish strong enough to get it out of the boat that fast. Now that was the big one that got away, LOL ♥ 

A Great Sunday, and a Better Monday

Happy Monday, praise God we made it to both services yesterday, what a blessing to be in the house of God with all our family around us. The messages were great, dh even got to teach the men's SS class, and though small I was able to be with the teen girls again.


My lesson was from Titus 2, being a set apart woman for God, and I tied it  in with Burn your bridges to Egypt. 
I so enjoyed teaching again, and being with the youth, the bus is bringing many many children in now, that sure is a blessing to watch each service, some have become so faithful to come.


We had to go to Brunswich one day last week, and along I 95 there was a huge tree, at the top a very big nest, with two eagle heads popping out, what a site to see, how excited I was, and wish I had had my camera with us. UGH, but I will go back and try and get a good photo of them, it was dear to my heart, being Isa 40:31 is my life long verse God give to me over 40 years ago.

Have a very blessed and peaceful Monday, I am blogging and 

having a very restful day. ♥

Sharing Saturday

Remember to set your clocks forward before you go to bed Saturday night.

Thursday we had a fun day with friends, had dinner and played some fun game too.

We had a great day yesterday, we tried out that new motor, went down the river about 4 miles, and fished a little too, just trying out to make sure it worked good, amen, it did. Came home at darkish and I fixed breaded pork chops and sweet potatoes, and asparagus, it was good, and then we relaxed for a while. Today we went to get our new glasses, yeahhhhh, they called when we were gone yesterday to say they are ready.  I love mine. guess what color, any one that knows me well will know.


Chuck has a memorial to do later, the folks are family of folks that were in our church, and they always call him when one of theirs dye. This is really a sad situation, this man 43 years old, was burned to death when a Meth lab exploded, yeah, oh me, what a terrible death that must of been, and far as I know (from the way he lived) he was not saved., they just seem to listen and will not hear, or act upon what they know to be true, pray for these folks, Chuck is really burdened for their souls.

This man is the dad of the boy I led to the lord when we were in Woodbine, James, then had the honor of leading his little girl to the lord during VBS, her name is Savannah, the mom to James and wife of dying man is Maria, she is James mom. The whole family needs the lord. Family name is Lloyd.
 
I plan on studying my lesson for tomorrow while he is gone, and make some cookies, or something sweet, I have this sweet tooth and just will not stay hidden, lol got to feed the sugar monster ya know.
So I pray you all have a wonderful weekend, and may God bless you real good.

Wonderful Wednesday

Good Morning on this 7th day of March, wow time is flying by,  It is lovely today, warmer and the sun is shining bright,  these days are good. Our garden is doing really good, potatoes are topping, so good, onions are getting bigger daily too, should have some wonderful strawberry's soon, lots on my plants. My watermelons are popping up too, and beets, just too much to talk about. You see this photo of Lilacs, we used to have the bushes all around our house in Michigan, they give off such a wonder smell, the whole yard smelled sweet like them, oh I miss them, I tried raising in Flordia when there but it died, I was very sad too, not sure if here in GA would do good or not, we are pretty much the same climate as where we were in Fl.


Tonight is prayer meeting and I do believe we are good to go tonight, praise the lord, reminds me of a little chorus we sing.  I'll Praise Your Name Lord.

I'll praise your name lord, and sing your song, I'll praise your name lord, my whole life long, I'll praise your name lord, til I get home, I'll praise your name lord and sing you song.

Then usually would sing Let Your Love flow through me.

Let your love flow through me, let your Love flow through me, make me a blessing lord where ever I may be. Keep me pure keep me clean so that you may be seen, let your love, let your love flow through me.

I hope your Wednesday is a good one, and some one will see Jesus in you today.
Be blessed and be a blessing, May God bless you real good.

Well I am back, and I just could not stay away, it got over whelming for a while when we were out daily, but things have calmed down in the Harris household, my dear husband is almost well again, and I am feeling fair to meddling. I made some of these cookies last night, and just had to share them with you, my wonderful bloggers, not sure if any one missed me or not, but I surely did miss you..Hope you enjoy making these, they are fun, and easy, I watched Paula Deen show the other day and she was making them for her picnic lunch with family, make a perfect dessert with a scoop of ice cream on them too, or just dunk like a donut in morning coffee. God bless Y'all real good.  ♥

Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.

God is love: 1 John 4:8 "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." That is some strong words here, and we see so many schisms in the church, that is not love, and that is not of God, we see here if we love, we are of God, where is your heart, search deep, find a place and time you accepted Christ and asked him into your heart. That is the very first step to find true love. May we have a testimony of love, and love all who come into our path way. The world must see love in the Christian or they will never see Jesus.


Have a blessed day and God is love, so let us love one another as Christ loved the church.

Well I am so bad about blogging these days, I think I have gotten out of the habit.

I am trying hard to get back into it, but seems life is busy even when we do not plan on things, seems like every day there is some where to go or something pressing to do. I love blogging when I have time, and here it is the month of  February, the month of love...Well so many things I love, will not put them today in this post, I rather bring you up to date with my life. All of my husbands treatments are over, 

he is eating again, and I made his favorite breakfast today, the sausage roll with eggs on top, he ate every bit too, and have plenty for the next couple of days for him, he needs to eat well to regain his strength, this radiation treatments have really taken a

toll on him, it zapped his energy level to almost nothing, and he lost 10 pounds too, heis not over weight or a big man so he needs to put back on some of this weight. His coloring is coming back, and he is not coughing like he was, still some but, not like it was before, yes praise the lord he is on the mend, and perhaps things will get back to

normal soon.

We have had Revival all week at our church, we have made some of the meetings, but not all, he is very good and has his family with him that sings and plays instruments, it is quite refreshing and I have truly enjoyed the messages. Here is the link if you want to check him out. http://www.mcgilliardministries.com/   We have had 4 precious souls saved this week also, one a middle age man, and that was such a blessing, you know statistics say anyone over 20 usually do not get saved, but praise God he loves everyone and call all, if that were the case my dh and I would of not been saved, he was 33 and I was 31 past the age of statistics, God touches all hearts and draws them to himself no matter what age, my only regret is that I was not younger, and married a saved man, and raised our children from birth in a godly home, other than that, I am so happy we did

get saved and lived for Christ ever since, I have never been sorry that I accepted Christ  as Saviour, and I plan on living for him until my last breath. Amen and amen. 

Well I am tired, I was sick too, but feeling pretty good again, just get tired too easy, hope you all have a very blessed day, and know my thoughts and prayers are with you all, I do love blogging and all my blogger friends. Have a wonderful weekend, tell some about Jesus today, lots of hugs sent your way.
