Ephesians 3:17b-19: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Easter Egg


Easter Egg

 

          Have you ever heard the saying, “that’s everything in a nutshell”?  What that person was trying to say is here is the true, condensed version of the long story.  Another definition for this phrase is something that you say when you are describing something using as few words as possible.  Well you didn’t find a nutshell but rather this eggshell.  Inside your eggshell you will find some true, condensed truths of God’s word.  Read over these truths…over and over again.  God reveals himself to us in many ways and one way is through His written word.  As we come into this Easter weekend, we all come with different traditions, ideas, celebrations and menus.  It’s easy to get swept away with how the world celebrates Easter and forget that there really is a true, concise reason why we can celebrate.

 

God loves us so much even despite our sin and rejection.

He sent Jesus to show us the way to Him.

Jesus’ death on the cross was the final payment for our sins.

All who believe will have eternal life with God.

 

What’s keeping you from the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord our God?  What’s standing in the way of you having a close relationship with the One who knew you, formed you and created you before you were even born.  What does it all boil down to and would you be willing to sacrifice eternity without God for everyone of your answers in a nutshell? 

 

You have been reached with this plastic easter egg, not because you are lucky but because God has chosen you to receive HIS SALVATION TODAY. 

Please email us or leave a comment so we can celebrate with you….

Bookmark

We are so glad you found the bookmark that was left for you!!! The many things you can do with a paint sample card!! Amazing!!! I hope you got a bright and cheery color to brighten your day!!! I have to be honest and tell you, I’m not sure I would be able to live life enjoyably if I didn’t have bookmarks. I am a reader, and not an e-reader, I need to HOLD the book in my hand and feel the pages as I turn them…..weird this day and age I know, but I can’t help it. I’m stuck on the old-school books and bookmarks!! I actually have a favorite book mark, my mom gave to me as a gift when I was very young and I have used it in my books that I have read throughout the years now for at least 24 years…..its old and torn and raggedy but I love it and it reminds of my mom every time I read. It is hand stitched with “Mom Loves Erin” and just like reading is for me, that bookmark is very comforting….
Bookmarks are great for reminding us of where we left off, what page we were on when we stopped reading, and then right when we feel like we have lost the page, we remember…OH I bookmarked where I left off. I think that Jesus is like a bookmark in our lives. He always knows just where we are, were we left off and when we are lost he knows EXACTLY where we need to be…..isn’t that awesome….that Jesus loves us and thinks of us always and is continuously waiting for us to use Him as our bookmark. I know that because Jesus is my bookmark that I never have to worry about being lost and not finding my way. I can turn to Him whenever I need Him (which is always) and my bookmark will be exactly where He left it for me. I love how God connects the little things in life , such as my bookmark my mom gave me years ago, and points it towards Jesus. God wants to be your bookmark, he wants you to eternally know the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to put this bookmark somewhere where you will see it daily as a reminder of exactly who is at the other side of that bookmark.
Thank you for reading our blog!! Have a great week!!!

Rainbow


  What is a rainbow anyway? Well it has always been an optical and 
meteorological phenomenon, but really it's only light and water. So many things 
come to mind when I see one...  For instance, the song Kermit the frog sang," 
Rainbow Connection ", starts playing in my head. But most importantly, in 
Genesis 9:13 God made a covenant with Noah and his sons that He would never 
again flood the earth. He told them that He would make a sign for them to 
forever remind them that He would never again destroy the earth with water, that 
being a rainbow. 
  Rainbows also symbolize starting over. It is written that the first thing Noah 
did after the flood was he began to cultivate the ground, Genesis 9:20. I'll bet 
the ground had never been as soft as it was that day. Have you ever tried to 
plant something in hard packed soil? That very day Noah started a new life, we 
also have that same opportunity. No matter how bad your past has been or how 
hardened your heart may be, God has sent his only Son, Jesus, to be our new 
beginning! 
     It is also said that the Hebrew word for rainbow is the same as "bow". When 
you look at a rainbow, it's shape is similar to a warriors bow.  Consider what 
God did by sending Jesus to take on our sins, some think that it is the imagery 
of the Divine Warrior hanging up his bow of judgment. Im so thankful for the 
forever reminder of a rainbow, and that God sent us his Son ,Jesus, so those 
that are in Christ will  never have to fear the wrath of God for our sins.
