Verse of the Day

Today’s Bible Verse may look very familiar… because it is none other than the signature tag line of our Publicity Chair and dear friend Tammy R. We get it every time she sends us an email!

Proverbs 23:7-For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he…

Watch your thoughts; they become words
Watch your words; they become actions
Watch your actions; they become habits
Watch your habits; they become character
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

I woke up this morning with that paragraph in my head. It says in the book of James that controlling the tongue is just the hardest thing…
yet it is even harder to control our thoughts!!

Thanks for reminding us over and over to ‘watch our thoughts’ Tammy.

Thanks for your tireless devotion and the boundless energy you put into MOPS, from the hours on the computer, research and bringing the kids (all three!) to church while you print to setting up for the avocado festival and making all the flyers, registrations….cooking dinner for Couples Night. You are so intelligent, resourceful, talented and skilled in so many things… and the sympathies you hold in your heart – it’s like a bottomless pit. I am constantly reminded of God when I am in your presence.

You are a truly beautiful woman and I am blessed to have you as a friend.

A beautiful day

It was a beautiful day when MOPS leaders got together earlier this month.

Love, Sarah

Verse of the Day

This verse is so incredible. It always helps me when I think that Christ wants us to love at all times, but the devil tries to break us down, tear us apart, confuse, and deceive. Kathy O. shared this verse with us at Tea & T (May 2007) and its such a powerful verse to have in our hearts and minds at all times =)

1 John 4:4 (New Living Translation)

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

L: The wonderful couple Randy & Myra! Thanks for your lovely music.. Their gifts are such a blessing to us!

R: Tammy’s husband Wil (R) with his best friend (L), the awesome salmon grillers — it truly was delicious!

He said to rub Red Robin seasoning on it first, put it in foil and directly on the b-b-q. Medium heat – 15 minutes.

Tammy cooked for 50+ people on Couples Night and whipped up that delicious mashed potato recipe – very little butter believe it or not! (check your latest newsletter for recipe)

More MOPS & POPS =)

Happy Tuesday!

Please call Danielle A. if you would like to know where we are meeting tonight for Girls Night at 7 p.m.

She sent an email, but if you did not get it, please give her a call =)

I went on a one day retreat last week – just me!

Armed with my bible and devotions, I have to say it was the best ‘retreat’ I ever had. I can see why Jesus would go off by himself and pray.

It’s hard sometimes to fall asleep in a strange place, but I kid you not, the last verses in the bible entry for the day (one year bible):

Proverbs 3:21-26

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul… They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble. You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly. You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security.

Chocolates for Moms

Tammy R. & I visited the Children’s Hospital with Donna for Maddi’s Closet this morning. What an incredible person Donna is and what an amazing experience it was to hand out the candy bars to the moms.

MOPS collected 800 regular and king size candy bars and 133 snack size bars for Maddi’s Closet! We only took half of them today, as it was just too many to take for one trip.

Even the half we took was plenty. We had so many bars left over that we left a bowl full for two nurse’s stations, and the rest were left for the volunteers to give to the critical unit.

Let’s continue to support Maddi’s Closet! We will update you with their year-long events.

MOPS & POPS

This event was lots of fun. I hope to send everyone a link to kodakgallery.com so that people may purchase their own photos if they want.

Thanks to my brother Danny for taking photos. He volunteered to get photos for people in case they did not bring their own cameras.

Happy Mother’s DAY!

Happy Mother’s Day to YOU, mom.

God sees all the work you do, and He chose you for this.

Blessings to you. Feel the peace that only He can provide.

=)
