W E L C O M E T O I T H I R S T N W ! Psalm 74:17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer
and winter. Sitting here at the computer I remember a lyric from a song written
by George Gershwin, "Summertime and the livin' is easy." I think for many of us, living is not too easy right
now. IIt definately is summertime, but inside our homes, inside our hearts many of us are feeling, in fact, uneasy.
With the economy ever so slowly recovering from the turmoil within our country's financial market, companies giving
up and downsizing, life right now is anything but easy. Yet, I read these words from 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And
now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Now is the time to truly reach out to people and share your faith, hope and love to them. Not by quoting scripture
after scripture from the Bible to them, nor by standing and waving your arms firing warning words of hellfire
and damnation to their souls if they do not accept Jesus into their hearts. Now is the time to simply
reach out to people and lend a hand when needed. Smile at someone as they pass by you in the grocery store,
give a helping hand or sympathetic word to a woman who is trying to control her over-active toddler. If you
have a neighbor who you know is struggling with their finances, bring over a casserole; or if they are
working in their yard, ask if they need help. Show your love of the Lord with your gestures, with words of kindness
and support, share your faith by your actions, by your words. ©2009 Blessings! Sandra, Publisher/Editor

KAT'S KERNALS Kat’s Kernels: Strange and Interesting Bible
Facts Fringe
and tassels on a garment may seem like a bunch of phoo phoo, but not so. God said, “Throughout the generations to come you are
to make tassels on the corners of your garments….” (Numbers 15:37). Awe, such rich symbolism.
People of that day understood the hem of the garment was an extension of the individual which clarifies Ruth saying,
“Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are Kinsman Redeemer. (Ruth 3:9). Jesus knew about
the fringed tassels, too. In Matthew he commented on how the Pharisees did everything for others to see
“….and their tassels on their garments long.” Question: I love the added ruffles and even fringe, but then I ask myself, does my clothing today represent who God is in me or do I invite everyone to see me? ©2009
