We have had a blessed Christmas and are enjoying the season of fellowship with friends near and far. Today leaves memories of a tea party for three friends, with much laughter and fellowship. A memory also of winter beauty as the area my friend lives in got a fresh snowfall of about 4 inchs. Thier home is in the mountains, and the woods were breathtaking with the beauty of the snowfall. Birds were busy at the birdfeeder outside her kitchen window while we sat around the heavily laden table...pouring tea and enjoying not only the delicious food but our friendship as well. And, I want to say a special thanks to everyone that sent me a hankie in the hankie swap. The hankies are lovely and special....just like the senders!

So happy you found inner peace about the baking, and that I could be of some help. I don't really know much listen to what comes into my heart and then my head, and that is the message I had for you, dear friend. Next year may be whole different story..who knows? And that'a part of the glory, isn't it?? Hugs, Finn; 7:11 PM
Kitty Couture said...: Hello my friend, what a beautiful and serene picture!
I think I can well picture you in your sweet and cosy home... Resting and meditating.

You told me that you might like to send me a card, and I have to confess I would love that! I would love to send you something as well - the idea has crossed my mind several times actually!
Could you email me to give me your address, and this way I could also give you mine? (If the above encoded link does not work, you can reach me by clicking on the envelope in the left-hand bar of my blog).

Rest and relax my friend, and seize the beauty of the day!
(I've had a lovely Christmas and am now back in Paris... Where it's snowing. That's a lovely but cruel sight - my heart aches for the homeless...); 2:00 PM

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
