Hi moms,
I came across this the other day while reading "The Power of a Positive Mom". Hope you enjoy it!
1 Corinthians 13 (A Mother's Version)
If I correct your manners at the dinner table, but do not have love, I am only a clanging dinner bell. If I take you for your annual doctor's visit and to story time at the library, and if I stop off at the mall to by you new shoes, but I have not love, I am nothing. If I give you clean laundry every day and keep the house perfectly straight, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love kisses the boo-boo before scolding about running in the house. Love encourages creativity instead of worrying about the possible mess. Love carefully disciplines and always forgives. Love doesn't sweat the small stuff. Love smiles and hugs. Love takes the time to look you in the eyes and listen to your side of the story.
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13
You are loved!

Loving Well
Hi moms,
You'll never guess who I had a message from on my answering machine when I got home from MIC today. TESTY! That's right, testy. And you know what it made me want to do? EAT...a lot and you know what I did? I ate...a lot, something BIG! Some of you can relate, some can't, testy people just make me want to eat! If you have no idea what I'm talking about , you weren't at MIC this morning. We started our Bible study, "Loving Well" and learned to identify four different types of people in our lives...people we are commanded to love.
1.) Joy - these people are easy to love, they bring us joy.
2.) Testy - these people test us, they're difficult to love.
3.) Foe - these people have hurt us so deeply, that if the truth was known we might say we hate them.
4.) Far - these people don't even show up on our radar, the cashier, waitress, long lost relatives etc.
We also learned Four Confessions.
1.) God is perfect love.
2.) Nothing can separate me from Gods perfect love.
3.) God pours His perfect love into my imperfect heart.
4.) Accessed, I can love anyone through anything.
Something to ask yourself.... Are you more loving than you were five years ago?
"But I say, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5:44
You are loved!

Share Your Bananas
Hi moms,
I wanted to share a few things I learned this weekend at the women's luncheon.
Nancy Kennedy was the speaker.
#1 The law of the jungle; stay calm, and share your bananas.
When you're going through the "jungle" called life, hold on to these truths.
Stay calm - God is never caught off guard, nothing takes Him by surprise. God always has been and always will be in control. God loves you, He sent His son to die for you. You can rest in Him.
Share your bananas - Share your testimonies, trials, and burdens. Share your faith, hope and love for Jesus. Don't be fake, be real. Laugh, cry, and rejoice with one another in the good times and the bad times. You never know what the people around you are going through, and they may need to hear from you.

New Bible Study!
We hope you enjoyed being pampered this week! Thank you to all the ladies who did the pampering!
Next week we will begin Beth Moore's bible study called "Loving Well". It's a four week bible study and it's great for busy moms. The cost of the book is $6.00.
Click on the picture to watch a video about the study! 
"Some people are a joy to love, some are difficult to love, and we all have to deal with some people who are humanly impossible to love. In all those relations one truth endures. We will never be able to love others well until we have been loved well. And only God can ultimately give us the complete love we so desperately need." Beth Moore
