“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.” Psalm 126:3 NKJV You have not been sprinkled with forgiveness. You have not been spattered with grace. You have not been dusted with kindness. You have been immersed in it. You are submerged in mercy. You are a minnow in the ocean of God’s mercy. Let it change you!

“This is the victory that conquers the world—our faith.” 1 John 5:4 What is unique about the kingdom of God is that you are assured of victory. You have won. If you have no faith in the future, then you have no power in the present. If you have no faith in the life beyond this life, then your present life is going to be powerless. But if you believe in the future and are assured of victory, then

“Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:4, NASB What’s the cure for selfishness? Get your self out of your eye by getting your eye off yourself. Quit staring at that little self and focus on your great Savior . . . Focus on the encouragement in Christ, the consolation of Christ, the love of Christ, the fellowship of the Spirit

“Let us love one another, for love is of God.” I John 4:7, NKJV Long to be more loving? Begin by accepting your place as a dearly loved child. “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children” (Ephesians 5:1, NIV). Want to learn to forgive? Then consider how you’ve been forgiven. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (

We Wear Jesus Posted: 26 Jun 2010 11:10 PM PDT “All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:27, NIV We wear Jesus. And those who don’t believe in Jesus note that we do. They make decisions about Christ by watching us. When we are kind, they assume Christ is kind. When we are gracious, they assume Christ is gracious. But if we are brash,

It has officially happened...I've gone green...Actually I've always loved to make interesting items from unexpected materials!

I would love to hear your ideas for new designs! I am in the process of creating some "green" bags--made from re-claimed fabric that still has years of wear left. Maybe you would like to turn that once-favorite dress or shirt into a "new" purse or tote bag!The "rag bags" are approximately 9x12x5 inches. They are made rag-quilt style with batting between two layers of cotton. They have 6 pockets
