Hi Ladies,
I hope you are having a great Monday!
Did you find encouragement in your study on Mary of Bethany? I love how this devotional brought out the idea of, "What have I done for Him?" We get so busy in our lives and we have our list of all the things we want and we thank Him for all that He has done for us, which is what I believe our Heavenly Father wants from us. But, at the same time, what have we done for Him? I like how the author's wrote; "You don't have to travel to the other side of the world to find opportunities to do something for God. Look for him in the poorest of the poor in your own community-those who are impoverished, isolated, ill. Find a way to bring the light of God's love in to their darkness.....Honor Him by giving him something precious in your own life. Even the smallest gesture can become a beautiful gift for God.
On another note, it doesn't have to be just to the poor in your community. It could be that person you pass in the hall at church, that just needs a kind word or a smile. Knowing that someone actually cares for them. It could be a family member who needs a hug or someone to look them in the eyes with care and time. We may be surprised how many are around us that don't really even have a personal relationship with Christ. We might be the one that Christ has chosen to share that gift, don't let it pass through your hands.
This week we are on to the study of, Priscilla. I have a feeling we are going to love this study on this amazing woman of the Bible. I can't wait!
Don't forget about our Celebration on the 16th of August! We will be having a great time together. You might want to be checking your recipes and seeing what you can bring for us all to sample. Think, summer, light, fun......tropical? :) You, also may want to bring a friend with you and that is perfectly fine, we would love to meet them! Next week, I will start receiving RSVP's so we will know how many to set up for. So, now is the time to check the calendar and to tell yourself, "Yes, I'm going to attend the end of our Bible Study Celebration on Tuesday, August 16th!" :)
