Closet of Blessing

It's almost that time! Closet of Blessing is almost upon us. Tags are being ripped and clothes are being sorted.

Here are some points to pray for.....

1. That God would be glorified through our efforts.

2. That we would have enough usable clothing, shoes and school items to bless those who come on Sunday.

3. That those who are in need would somehow hear about it and come on Sunday.

4. That hearts would be touched through this display of kindness in a way that would draw them nearer to Christ.

5. That all logistics-sorting, set up, clean up, food and on the actually morning of- would run smoothly and effectively.

6. That the people of Crossmark would be blessed by this opportunity to serve others.

7. Did I mention to pray that God would be glorified?

Thanks for helping and lifting our requests up to Him!

Stairmaster and Lounge Chair

Been thinking about that "Stairmaster and Lounge Chair" sermon from Sunday. I've been there...stepping up and down....and beating myself up for each mistake and poor decision I made in the past. I mean from even years ago. Just where the enemy likes you, beating yourself up, feeling unworthy, not feeling loved unconditionally. We wear that stuff like a old coat, trudging up and down on the steps, with that itchy, scatchy old material rubbing on our hearts.

Like Michael said the best part is GETTING OFF!

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5

Be assured no one--man, woman or child--says "I love you" with more certainty than the Lord.

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9

You know I don't know why I got on that Stairmaster, I really don't like to exercise, and keep that lounge chair away from me, I have enough issues. :-)

What thoughts did you have?
