“Well, for me church is a HUGE part of my life..Amen..and I look forward to just being there and being around other believers in Christ..sharing and having fellowship with one another..praying for one another..Amen..but we all know since COVID began and social distance has occurred well it has made it more difficult to be together as a whole church body..but since last month in August we started back regathering..and there is a limited space in the church to be able to accommodate every member..so were asked to register for only one Sunday a month to be able to let everyone at least tend one service per month..Amen..so last month in August I registered on the 16th which was my oldest sister Michele’s birthday..and today on the 13th I registered which is my middle sister’s son, Thomas’ birthday..so on both occasions there was and is a celebration..Amen!”

“Because for me church is a celebration..it is a place of rest for my soul..a place to enter into Gods house and be still before Him and His presence..I love church..because I love the Lord..Amen..I know for me the older I get the more I love going to my moms home..for there I find rest..and contentment..Amen..it’s a place where all is well..even in the midst of troubles..and trials..you find solitude..you find peace and love..Amen..for I don’t know about the rest of ya but I need the Lord to keep this ole girl filled up and content..Amen..for the bible says that godliness with contentment it is of a great gain..1 Timothy 6:6-11..Amen..and I tell everyone, that if you are dry and thirsty yourself..than you can’t really pour into someone else’s life..if you, yourself are empty..Amen!”

“So I find my way to my Father who is up in heaven..I find my way into His presence always..Amen..because He says to me that when I seek Him with my whole heart that I would find Him..Deuteronomy 4:29/Proverbs 8:17/Jeremiah 29:13..Amen..and He tells me to come unto Him and that He alone would give me rest..Matthew 11:A28-29..men..so I trust the Lord with my life..as I pray you as well trust Him..with everything..I tell people that there is nothing ever out of control..because the Lord is always in control..He alone is King..Amen..He alone is everything..everything that will ever need or ever want in all of our lives..so if I am not able to attend in person at church I do make my way to the computer and get online and watch the live services..Amen..no, it’s not the same as being there..but I am thankful for it..and I am thankful for Gods word still being preached..for you see it is the Lord’s word that goes forth to accomplish what it was sent forth to accomplish..the bible says that it would not return void..Isaiah 55:11..Amen..so I am getting ready to head out the door and go to my Fathers house..Amen..and I pray that each of you as well find your place today and rest a moment in our Lord and Savior’s presence..go to His table and feast on Him and His word..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
