Thought for Thursday: C.S. Lewis

Monday Meditation: But as for me

"But as for me"

four words that are set apart to contrast what has happened before and what is going to happen.

Psalm 5:7

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 

Psalm 26:11

But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 

Psalm 35:13

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. 

Psalm 69:13
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of they mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Joshua 24:15

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. 

Fun for Friday: Sunday School Treat

Just recently we had our annual Sunday School Treat to reward the children for their hard work. 

I have included some picture collages. 

As you'll be able to tell our theme was... GOLDFISH :)

No goldfish themed event is complete without live goldfish. They made up our table centerpieces and were displayed on the food line as well. Kids were able to take them home at the end. 

 Each level of participation had a different themed bag/box!

 No event is complete without food. We had sandwiches, jello cups with fish, a variety of orange chips, goldfish themed cupcakes, as well as, "bubble water" & "ocean juice" for drinks. 

Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND :)

John 3:16

For God so loved the world,

{John 3:16}
