Turkey / Cranberries

Ray and I went up town to take care of some business and we stopped at Hannford they had turkeys on sale . 49 a pound so we got a 22 pound one and then we got some cranberries.. I like to have them on hand they were on sale for $1.99 a pound I paid $2.50 I think a couple of weeks ago and these are local... Yahoo that is even better.. They are from Rickers Farm.. Not far from here they have a couple of cranberry bogs..

A Family Resemblance

Be a person whose life is marked by truth,integrity, and Passion.

Many people share a family resemblance with their parents. It might be curly hair or  a toothy grin. Maybe it is the way you walk or a distinctive laugh. when people see a resemblance of this type , they know what family you belong to.

If you want people to know that you belong to God, your "family resemblance"should be godliness. That trait might look like this in your life:

.Knowing the truth-whichcomes from studying God's Word;

Acting with integrity-which comes from doing God's Word;and

.Living with passion-which comes from sharing God's word.

If you have these characteristics in your life, people will easily see the family resemblance between you and your heavenly Father.

But all will be well for those who are godly .

Tell them,"You will receive a wonderful reward!"

ISAIAH 3:10

Up dates and More

I'm so far behind in everything sorry my friends... I owe letters to Amanda and Abby have not forgotten about you just alot going on here.. My time has been with health issues or our new puppy pumpkin.. pumkin is 10 weeks old and a hand ful.... I will post lots of pictures of her so look for more pictures....

We got her two weeks ago it's been hard potty training her and with our dog and cat... Our dog dew just bite into here a few hours ago flew her in the air and she came down crying and dew was on her again.. I was like three feet away sweeping the floors.. So I had to get dew off from her and checked her all over she was crying and shaking something awful.... Every day in the last few weeks its been the dog or cat goes after her.. She likes to jump and nip at them she wants to play... But they don't want to play... We got our dog and cat when they were babies and they are well trained....

The dog follows commands and he never was a puppy like her.. he never played with toys and never chewed on anything... The cat we got the same time no problem with him.. So I'll close this out and post pictures of her.....

May you all have a blessed day.. raining hard here in Maine....

Have A Good Heart

Unlike a tree,you have the ability to choose the fruit your life produces.

Jesus said that you can tell what is in a person's heart by listening to what that person says. He used the work "heart " to mean a person's true character and feeling. If someone frequently gossips, lies, and speaks negatively about others, you have a pretty good impression of his character. Likewise , you can easily guess the character of a person whose words are encouraging, kind, and truthful.

People can't see your heart,but they can see (and hear) what your heart produces. It's like the fruit on a tree. You know what kind of tree you're looking at by the fruit it produces. Jesus said, "Make a tree good, and its fruit will be good. Make a tree bad, and its fruit will be be bad"(Matt. 12:33). Make it our goal to produce good fruit by the power of the Holy Spirit.

"A good person produces good words from a good hear,

and an evil person produces evil words from an evil heart."

MATTHEW 12:35

Glorify God

Glory is something you give,not take, and the One who deserves it the most is God.

Why did God create u in the first place? Was it to populate and mange the earth God Made? Did God create us so we could interact with each other and show love for one another? How about witnessing? Maybe God put us on this earth so we could tell others about Him? All of those are excellent reasons,but there's an even bigger reason why we're here.'God wants us to glorify Him.

The meaning of glory is "gift,"literally a gift of honor and praise. In everything we do God wants us to glorify Him. According to the Westminster Confession of Faith, our "chief and highest end is to glorify God, and to fully enjoy Him forever."That's what happens when you honor God and give Him the praise. You enjoy Him forever.

Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you don, you must do all the glory if God.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:31

Make Someone Happy

Personal happiness is most easily gained by bringing happiness to others.

Happiness may be temporary,but we all want it, and that's okay, as long as we don't depend on the emotion of happiness like an extreme athlete depends on adrenaline.

Here's another thing we need to realize about happiness:It's harder to come by when we place it in things Whether we depend on cars, a home, a raise, an outfit, or a meal for happiness,our happiness meter is going to jump  all over the place as these things come and go.

A better way to gain happiness is to do things for others. Make others happy,and the happiest person will be you. Make others happy all the time, and your happiness will turn to joy.

For I hope to visit you soon and to talk with you face to face. Then our joy will be complete.
