Isn't life flying by at a rapid pace? It seems like these scripture posts are due about every 3 days . (Actually, the next one<strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">is</span></em></strong> due in 2 days :-/ ) I've talked with a dear friend of mine who is doing this, too, and she is feeling the same way. Satan has a way of making Spiritual growth more challenging and difficult than need be. However, we are Conquerors and Victors, not in ourselves, but through Christ who gives us the strength to keep moving forward to our goal. "Thank you Lord for knowing our hearts and keep our good intentions moving in the right direction at a steady pace."<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Here is the next verse as I memorize the 13th chapter of I Corinthians: </div><br /><br /><br /><p>SSMT # 13:<br /><em>"Love is patient and kind.

I forgot to post verse # 11 (June 1 - 14) so here it is along with #12 (June 15 - 30).<br /><br />Now through November I will be memorizing I Corinthians 13 - the love chapter. What a chapter for all of us to put to practice! What a wonderful world it would be if everyone would follow God's guidelines, precepts and laws! I believe the word is pronounced "Heaven". <span style="font-size:180%;">☺</span> Someday, we who do love Him and do our best to follow His ways and have made Him Lord in our lives, will live in such an environment filled with love, no strife, no jealousy, no hate -- no sin! We have so much to look forward to don't we? Now, for the first two verses of this beautiful chapter:<br /><br />SSMT #11<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><em>"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a nosiy gong or a clanging cymbal."</em></div><br /><div align="center"><em></em></div><br /><div align="center"><em>I Cor. 13:1</em> NLT</div><br />SSMT#12<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><em>"If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowlege, and if I hd such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing."</em></div><br /><div align="center"><em></em></div><br /><div align="center"><em>I Cor. 13:2 NLT</em></div><br /><div align="left"><em></em></div><br /><div align="left"><em><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">♥♥♥♥</span></em></div><br /><div align="center"></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTW2n_NAEykWZTvA_w68ACPgt0ZIflowso5tHhgMjV4XOdizgkiK3dqBchpRKmKOidpQLMVArfI6EzjM1-pBGT91LDMeVCWauehVcFdHtPIxQIKXJ5FA_YEZhR7sXNECVLuM-b0qK6Q0/s1600/Signature+block+2.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 128px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 50px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510951820030194674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTW2n_NAEykWZTvA_w68ACPgt0ZIflowso5tHhgMjV4XOdizgkiK3dqBchpRKmKOidpQLMVArfI6EzjM1-pBGT91LDMeVCWauehVcFdHtPIxQIKXJ5FA_YEZhR7sXNECVLuM-b0qK6Q0/s320/Signature+block+2.png" /></a>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899544756898970814noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490811245222297511.post-2365613826313617512011-05-23T22:39:00.005-05:002011-05-23T22:48:10.167-05:00Scripture #10<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZyz5X3eCTZkrdGyCGnVZw4BHCWzygEFlEErtWnr58IsO9zA-AiHtcjfxU1FBO6jqQMB1EFdo0N4OiB9hSw0lOWmoDDtSw-sXcJS79bahL5-8rCv5wtoGvAKIqQfn66tnw8jtg6ltDVU/s1600/siesta-spiral-300x224.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 149px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610123410839130658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZyz5X3eCTZkrdGyCGnVZw4BHCWzygEFlEErtWnr58IsO9zA-AiHtcjfxU1FBO6jqQMB1EFdo0N4OiB9hSw0lOWmoDDtSw-sXcJS79bahL5-8rCv5wtoGvAKIqQfn66tnw8jtg6ltDVU/s200/siesta-spiral-300x224.jpg" /></a><br /><br />#10<br />I Corinthians 13:1 - NLT<br /><br /><em>"1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal."</em><br /><br />I will be memorizing the entire chapter which will pretty much fill up my total for the year (24 verses).

We are to post our scriptures on the 1st and 15th of each month. We will be memorizing at least 24 verses over the course of the year.<br /><br />Due to traveling and just being busy, I have not yet posted the first verse so I will post both of January's in this post.<br /><br />The theme of my verses this year I feel will be primarily to do with Faith - taking God at his Word and believing what he has for me can be my reality. So my first two verses are:<br /><br /><div align="center"><em>"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."</em></div><div align="center"><em>Hebrews 11:1 -NIV<br /><br /></em></div><div align="center"><em></em></div><div align="center"><em>"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exsists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."</em></div><div align="center"><em>Hebrews 11:6 - NIV<br /><br /></em></div><div align="center"><em></em></div><div align="center"><em></em></div><div align="left">God began dealing with me about this last winter. I wrote a post about it <a href="http://lifeattheparsonage.blogspot.com/2010/03/out-of-box.html">here</a>. More than anything, I want to please God, therefore, I must have faith in him and take he literally at his Word. God cannot lie, so. . . what he says is true and he will keep his promises. Now, it's my move.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><em></em><br />Love,<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTW2n_NAEykWZTvA_w68ACPgt0ZIflowso5tHhgMjV4XOdizgkiK3dqBchpRKmKOidpQLMVArfI6EzjM1-pBGT91LDMeVCWauehVcFdHtPIxQIKXJ5FA_YEZhR7sXNECVLuM-b0qK6Q0/s1600/Signature+block+2.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 128px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 50px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510951820030194674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTW2n_NAEykWZTvA_w68ACPgt0ZIflowso5tHhgMjV4XOdizgkiK3dqBchpRKmKOidpQLMVArfI6EzjM1-pBGT91LDMeVCWauehVcFdHtPIxQIKXJ5FA_YEZhR7sXNECVLuM-b0qK6Q0/s320/Signature+block+2.png" /></a>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899544756898970814noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490811245222297511.post-88870680950558803012010-12-02T07:50:00.006-06:002010-12-02T08:17:01.551-06:00Happy Birthday -- to me!<div align="justify">Yesterday was my birthday.

Thank goodness there are NO funerals included in my schedule. It seems as though we were plagued with funerals this summer. We attended 7 thoughout the month of June and July! We made a trip to Texas (just south of Dallas), two trips to Louisiana and various other cities at least an hour away to attend some of the funerals. The last one was at our church. I pray we are through with funerals for a while. It's always sad to lose a loved one.<br /><br />Now, the three baby showers and a wedding are joyous occassions! Two of the baby showers are schedule to take place on the same exact day at the same time. One begins 30 minutes earlier that the other and they are about 12 miles apart. However, I do believe I will be able to attend both for a short period of time. That should be interesting! The third baby shower is on a date to itself. I will be making the cake for this one. I have decided to do a baby buggy on the cake. </div><div align="justify"><br />The wedding should be interesting for hubs and me. My son and daughter-in-law will both we in the wedding along with her family (her brother is getting married). Our two grandchildren ages 6 and 2 are also in the wedding. Our job is to try to encourage the two-year-old to go down the isle with his sister. From there, they have it all planned out. <em>(We will have reserved seats on the front row -- </em><em>just in case it doesn't go as planned.)</em> :-/ Fortunately, our little darling boy has a great tempermant and will be adorable no matter :)</div><div align="justify"></div><p align="justify">Here are a few pics his daddy took of him after they tried on his wedding attire. What you can't see is that this little suit has nicker pants.

One side of the garage is full of items that need to be stored away or given away. I recently took down the baby crib <em>(sniff</em><em>)</em> that is not longer needed by our grandson <em>(sniff, sniff).</em> I will wrap it up and store it away. I have scrapbooking items that need to be put back in the cabinet, a pre-lite Christmas tree that was left in one of our houses that needs to go somewhere, and shelves that need organizing -- again!

This man exemplified, love, faith, dignity and grace. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. When in conversation with him, he had of a way of making you feel as though you were the only person in the world. His precious wife does the same.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">His death came sudden and as a shock. He had not been feeling too well and had an upper respiratory infection and wasn't progressing as he should. Tuesday, June 1, the doctors at Baylor Hospital in Dallas drew blood and found that he had acute Leukemia. The doctor delivered a shocking message that there was nothing that could be done, and at his age, he could not withstand the chemo treatments. He was given 3 days to live. He made it to 6 days. Early Monday morning while sleeping, he passed from this life into the next. He spent his last 6 days with family close by. They have some wonderful and precious memories of his last days with them. James was an encourager to others and he continued this until the end. The days ahead will be long and lonely without him, but the family has the Comforter to help them through the rough times ahead. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br />It can be said that his was a live well lived! He accomplished much in his lifetime, but he would tell you that his greatest accomplishment was his family. Never let us find ourselves taking each other for granted because life is too short and each day with our loved ones and friends is a treasure and gift from God.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Love,</div>SherrySherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899544756898970814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490811245222297511.post-34310858811301208242010-05-24T21:45:00.019-05:002010-05-25T00:02:08.450-05:00"You get a line and I'll get a pole . . . .

They serve breakfast/brunch only and the hours of operation are 6:30 - 11:00 a.m. This place is very unique. As you walk up to the front door, it's your first clue that this is going to be a different experience -- again, considering we are in such a small town.<br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="justify">The restaurant used to be a warehouse and boasts a series of rooms. Each one has it's one style and personality. As you enter, you step into what feels like a coffee/soda shop in colors of red, black and white. It's very quaint and inviting. Walking through we found 3 more large rooms to explore. Along the way you can shop for decor items, baby items and other miscellaneous items. </div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">I took some pictures to put on my blog to share this experience with you. The first one is the entrance. There's more to see than is in the picture. There's a ledge up at the top of the porch and there's decor with lights that look really cool.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474317435168357890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgECMar9MUsAlzUSpU-vCSj6K8AAYOSvxMoC4BJpBFXFXTVJqCRTYQqScB9QNkVnH4feHLa6fLITbR58JPt8cwjVVWwPjT49EgCq7e93TyweX7FXDOIb14Ovy1MldA6yGkdJy2TZrIv6E/s320/100_0384.JPG" />This is the room where we ate.

As I have shared before, I am memorizing the first chapter of the book of James. Here are the verses for May:<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="center"><em>"And hose who are rich should boast that</em></div><div align="center"><em>God has humbled them.</em></div><div align="center"><em>They will fade away like a little</em></div><div align="center"><em>flower in the field.</em></div><div align="center"><em></em></div><div align="center"><em>The hot sun rises and and grass withers;</em></div><div align="center"><em>the little flower droops and falls</em></div><div align="center"><em>and it's beauty fades away.</em></div><div align="center"><em>In the same way, the rich will fade away</em></div><div align="center"><em>with all of their achievements.</em></div><div align="center"><em></em></div><div align="center"><em>God blesses those who</em></div><div align="center"><em>patiently endure testing and temptation.</em></div><div align="center"><em>Afterward they will rceive a crown of life</em></div><div align="center"><em>that God promised to those who love him."</em></div><div align="center"><em></em></div><div align="center"><em>James 1:10 - 12 NLT<br /><br /></em></div><div align="center"></div><div align="justify">I love the promises of God! I so enjoy memorizing scripture. God is so faithful to bring the memorized verses to mind when I need them. Last year I memorized Psalm 139, and I have been greatly surprized at how many times I have used it in sharing with others, in Bible study and in teaching my Sunday School class. God's Word never gets old, is never out-of-date and has the answers to life's questions. All we have to do is utilize it!</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><br /><br />Love,</div><div align="justify">Sherry</div>Sherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10899544756898970814noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490811245222297511.post-34847199769657506332010-05-17T15:28:00.015-05:002010-05-17T17:33:59.796-05:00Memorable Days<div align="justify">Last week was special for our family. Hubs and I spent a wonderful week in the Ozark mountains. We left Sunday afternoon. However . . . it was also the week that our precious granddaughter graduated from Kindergarten. We certainly would not miss that, so, we made the 5 hour trip back home just for this major event in her little life.<br /><br /><div align="justify">The night before had been full of storms, tornadoes and power loss. Fortunately, the power was still on at our house. Since my son and DIL's house was without power, the graduation party was moved to our house. We arrived early in the afternoon to help wherever needed. About 4:30 p.m. my son arrived with the little ones so that they could be bathed and get ready for the big night of graduation. My DIL followed close behind carrying bags of decorations and drinks and supplies. I got out a tablecloth and she knew where everything else was and we began getting the table ready. My son dressed our grandson and I was privilege to dress my granddaughter and do her hair while my DIL took her shower and got dressed, too.

Everyone had a great time. The little ones were absolutely awesome! They were so good and cooperative -- even our little guy that's almost two :) Hubs and I left late Saturday evening to be back in time for church. The kids stayed until Sunday morning and had a nice time. It was the first time they had been able to come to the cabin. They really enjoyed their time away -- even if it was kind of short. It was spur-of-the-moment plans, but sometimes the unexpected can be the most fun!<br /><br /></span><p align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:85%;">We are thanking the Lord that all of our church members, friends and family's homes were unharmed in the many storms that came through here last week and over the weekend. Many homes, cars and properties were damaged. Hailstones were anywhere from baseball size to dime size!!! God is good -- always!<br /><br />Love,<br />Sherry</span></p></div></span></span></div></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#000000;">P.S . Blogger has gone looney so . .
