We had a great meeting today filled with tasty food, great insight into kid friendly meals, recipe sharing, and the assembly of very handy first kits for your cars (Thanks Jennifer Davis !). We will have copies of all of the shared recipes for all of you at our next meeting.
As always, we began our meeting with a very poignant devotion from Judy. In the spirit of “Being Thankful” in 2012, Judy’s message today centered around how our thoughts affect our actions, and affect our ability to praise God by allowing ourselves to receive his blessings. For example, our attitude sometimes can be affected by self-wants (and not needs). When we don’t get want we want, we can sometimes have a sour attitude (an example that was used was repeatedly asking our loving husbands to do a certain task over and over with no avail and thus we become frustrated- bad attitude) and we are losing the relationship with God by our unthankful attitude. We should REJOICE in our sufferings, as a THANKFUL attitude receives BLESSINGS. An unthankful attitude leads to MISSING the opportunity to receive his blessings. Even in our troubles, be thankful to God, and the blessings will flow.
