WHAT WIVES DESIRE FROM THEIR HUSBANDS

WHAT WIVES DESIRE FROM THEIR HUSBANDS by Daneille Gray Snowden            Melissa and Joe were strolling hand in hand by the lake as the sunset glistened on the their already glowing faces.  She was pouring out her heart as he gazed at her intently. They approached and sat slowly down on a white bench which was close to the shore. Melissa was suddenly wrapped in Joe's long strong arms; he then decided to pray with his wife about the matters she had shared with him. As the sun sat that evening, a smile grew on Melissa's face as well as a feeling of security, love and joy totally enriched her entire being.      "Oh my!" Isn't that the absolute dream of a perfect evening for any Christian wife (and husband)? Communication, listening, affection, time spent, leadership, praying, putting God first and feeling safe all wrapped up in just a few short hours. This has been some feedback I received after I sent out a poll to several Christian wives of all ages an

PASTOR'S APPRECIATION DAY

  "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a  preacher ?"                                     ~Romans 10:14~ [SCROLL ON DOWN FOR IDEAS.]       In just a few weeks churches all across the U.S. will be celebrating Pastor's Appreciation Day on October 14, 2012.  Yearly this falls on the  2nd Sunday in  October.    Most congregations try to celebrate the entire Month.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY

LIFE IS A JOURNEY Our family journey's on the Blue Ridge Parkway are so memorable. A true high- light of my life. Now, another destination is directly under our feet as we take ONE step at a time! With our eyes on our loving Lord, Jesus Christ! Pondering Thought From Daneille:  I saw a quote today...really is so true, yet it seems like we won't be happy until we think we can get to where we want to be. Here's the quote: "Life is a journey, not a destination."  My father always said; "Minister to that person right in front of you." My mama quoted the slogan; "Bloom where you are planted." There is a destination that is called eternity...for me that will be in Heaven with my Lord. But, for now I will enjoy this journey no matter how steep or narrow the path; this is a true and fulfilled life.   Proverbs 3:5-6  "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understandings, in all your ways acknowledge Him
