Sharing the Love of Christ

By



     Take the time to share the love of Christ today.  I don't mean grab someone and beat them with the words in bible nor do I mean to bum-rush somebody and use the Word to condemn or cause shame. When i say share the love of Christ, you first need to know who he is.  Do you know who Jesus is? Who is he to you? Do you have enough of a relationship with him to be able to share him and his LOVE.
     Jesus is not just the Word; but he is a smile, and a kind word. A smile and a kind word to everyone you make eye contact with; not just the people who look  like you. Sharing Christ is help for the needy, food for the hungry and sincerity.  Jesus is a comforter and confidant; a problem solver and burden bearer.
     Yesterday, I was taking my daughter to her bus stop when we saw a young lady walking towards downtown.  This young woman was nicely dressed; carrying a pair of flip flops in her hand and walking barefooted.  It was obvious that she was in a hurry and could walk faster with no shoes on. I knew that he feet were hurting and that they were going to swell beyond belief. I knew that I needed to act.  **BUT, let me tell you this first. I was driving on fumes, my daughter was about to miss her school bus, I was about to be late for work, and this lady was a stranger.** I took my daughter to her bus stop, made a u-turn, and went back for this young lady.  She had walked pretty far but still had a ways to go.  I not only went back for her, I gave her a pair of  the 8 pairs of shoes I had in my car, and offered to give her money. She took the shoes but declined the money.  During the ride, I was able to share the love of Christ with her by letting her know that God has a plan to meet her every need. This young lady told me that she had moved from Ohio to Nashville with her boyfriend and was now alone. Not able to go home and trying to make the best of this awful situation. The world needs to know that we are ambassadors of the Kingdom. 
     Jesus Christ is the immeasurable love of God the Father.  He has given to us freely; so today freely share him and his love.

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

By
My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up!

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

By
WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She had faith that th

SOC Hot Fun in the Summertime Blog Hop

06/22/2012   Summertime Memories and Family      Aahhh, summertime is here. Summer has soooo many fun memories for me. From my earliest memories of playing in the sprinklers at my Madea's row home to picking beans and tomatoes at my granny and granddaddy's home. What is summer without your family? Family vacations, cookouts, pool parties, and decoration day at the family cemetery are the memories we need to preserve . For me its about family and the memories we are making for the next generation. Since I started scrapbooking seriously in 2003, I've become the keeper of the family photos.         What is your earliest summertime memory? Was it eating watermelon on the porch and spitting seeds? Was it a special summertime fling? Was it the first summer that your baby walked for the first time? I would love to know.  Family Fun in the Park.   Page 1 of 2 {Family cookout for my son before he went to college. This was his "Orange and White" party.} I di
