After early church Mary and I went to breakfast. We have really come to appreciate those shared times. I came home and started on my thank you notes – did a flower walk around the yard. Then I saw one of the baby bunnies nibbling beside the deck. I’m sure there are more than one!
I will share Jim’s message last week from 1st Pres Florida – A closer look at Jesus. 1) Jesus is compassion – he knows our lives better than we do. He wants to be your companion; share your life with Jesus. 2) He invites us to be with him – we can make a difference in the world through relationships. Make friends, be friends, bring them to Jesus. 3) Compass – he’s the way, truth, life – he points the way we should go. Through: A) Bible B) Prayer C) Others who know and love us D) Circumstances E) Peace He’s our GPS – God positioning system. Follow His life!
