Giving, Receiving, Passing continued

Still meditating on this concept and still sharing...

What does this look like the giving, receiving, passing? The thought that comes to mind is Money, tithing, gifts, talents, knowledge...how many times do we hold these things tight to our chest...hording them for our selves alone? I know I do this...and I think it could be defined as selfishness...How many times has God given me something He has intended for me to pass on to someone else and I haven't? How many times has the Kingdom suffered for my selfishness? Probably none...it's not like God needs me to accomplish his plans...so then who really suffers? Me. Yes I do believe God gives us things for us alone to hold on to little gifts blessings...He is so wonderful and gracious...but I don't think that is what He is trying to teach ME through this thought that won't let me go...well that's all for now...

Lord thank you for taking the time to speak to me, teach me, mold me into your image...how I love You so....

a thought and quote to Ponder

Bruce (epic pastor) has placed a new way of thinking in my mind that I am loving and pondering or I should say God through Bruce did...anyway...thought I would share...

We are not givers...God is the only giver...we are receivers and passers...we are receiving the things God gives us and passing them to others...

I love this truth...

Which in reality I'm doing just that at this very moment...Groovy!!!!

I can't catch up to my life!!!

I'm sure we all feel like this every once in a while...in fact I'm sure most of you could match my schedule and raise it a Crazy or 2...but...this is one of those times for me...my life is CRAZY...It has been non stop for the Parson house I tell ya...

This is how I found my two babies this evening...

At some point this evening my two little angels decided to watch the Original Indiana Jones movies in preparation for the movies tomorrow when we go see the NEW Indian Jones movie with our Life Group...I could just kiss their little cheeks off...

How did this happen!!!

My baby girl is graduating the 8th grade on June 6th...OH MY GOSH!!! I want to cry all the time...what is happening??? I don't want to move forward!!! WHY...WHY...WHY??????????

Tonight was the first of many official wrapping up the year events...The 8th grade Banquet...Brittani looked so beautiful along with all her classmates...it was fun sitting with Brittani and critiquing all the dresses the girls picked out...yes very caddy but fun...probably not the best example...to late now...ugh...and let me just say...all you ladies with little girls out there...please teach your little lady in training the correct undergarments to wear with what ever it is that they are wearing...it drives me CRAZY when these poor little things walk around without a clue!!! Anyway...it was a great evening...I have some pictures of Brit and her friends and....Brittani and THE BOY...don't worry we told him he could put his arm around her for the picture...I don't think he minded a bit...
