Welcome to Monday Manna - March 1, 2010

Greetings Sweet Friends,

*

So how was your weekend?

*

Do anything fun or interesting??

*

We didn't do anything particularly 

interesting but we did have a really

sweet & fun day yesterday, celebrating

 for my Sil's Susan's birthday.

*

Susan came of course, and our DeeAnna,

and Scott and his girlfriend Megan.

*

We had chicken Stroganoff and 24 hr.

salad, rolls, and cheesecake with

fresh strawberries on top!  all her

favorites, accept maybe the cheese

cake, course, she likes it but I was

gonna make Strawberry shortcake,

(her favorite), but couldn't find enough

fresh strawberries anywhere.

*

Fortunately, Becky over at Holiday in

the Sun had gotten me strawberries

from the farmers market the week

before,  so I was able to cut the

rest up and put them in the freezer

for her birthday celebration.

Um um the cheesecake was delicious

with those fresh strawberries on top,

I do have to say!!

*

Guess I had better get on with my

real post for today.

*

*

Might your daisy be drooping spiritually!

*

Then read on for some practical ideas that

 might just help.

When I wrote last week I took it for

granted that you probably were already

going to church, reading your bible,

and praying,  but if not,  that is surely

the first place you would want to start.

*

but here are some other things you

might like to incorporate, if you are

feeling the need.  Remember these

are not in any particular order of 

best to least or anything like that.

Just ideas off the top of my head.

Watch some good preaching on TV,

there are some solid Pastors like;

Charles Stanley, James Merritt,

David Jeremiah, Joyce Meyer, to 

name just a few, and then there is

always 700 club.  Watching these

programs are always an inspiration

to me.

*

#10

Watch the worship network if you can

get it where you live.  It is either on

channel 40.3 or 50.4.  Those are regular

stations, we don't have cable.

I love this station because it has beautiful

scenery with music, and then they put up verses

 every so often, and sometimes they have people

 that tell some sort of inspirational story.

It is a very worshipful experience for me!

*

#11

Read your bible and pray in another room of the 

house just to break your routine.

*

#12

Read a different version of the bible just to break

 your routine.  Our church is doing a program where

 we are sent a scripture reading everyday, but it has

been in another translation I haven't read before, and 

it's been great, I have really enjoyed it, and gleaned

 many new incites,  I then go, and read it in my NIV

bible as well.

*

#13

Join a ladies bible study group.

*

#14

Get together with a few other ladies
and just spend time talking and having
fun, then spend some time in prayer.

*

#15

Go to your local Christian bookstore and

buy some sort of bible study workbook,

on a subject that you would like to study

and set about doing it.

*
#16

Read a christian book you have been 
wanting to read,  or one that happens to
address some issue you need to work
on like anger or forgiveness.

You might well be surprised what happens
 if you just try even one or two items on the list.

*

*
You might just look bright and perky
like this bouquet
*
Same bouquet that had it's daisy drooping,
 just has the dead flowers and the dirty water removed,
(like our sin or discouragement)
*
refreshed and renewed with nice, clear, clean water!
(Like having our minds renewed from God's word).
*
and many of the flowers were there all along
just tucked in the back.
(like God, he is always there even when you
can't see or feel him,  he never leaves us
nor forsakes us.)
*
*
Hope you have a Super Day Enjoying

the Saviors Company!

Blessings, love and Hugs,

Nellie
