Monday’s Gratitude and Updates!

(Hello new followers!  I am so glad you are here.)

First, I have to report, the first meeting of the Shi-anne Social Club went well.  We fed eight extras….ate our homemade ice cream after supper in the garden, watched the lightning bugs…

I had posted, we were going to take this slow….nothing heavy, just gradually open the doors of ministry, praying the Holy Spirit would guide our efforts.

Oddly enough, God’s Creation turned the conversation to the more serious.  Have you noticed how far south the moon is sitting in the night sky?  Even if an earthquake moved us three or so degrees off our axis…..the world is really sitting at an odd angle…REALLY.

So while sitting in the garden, eating ice cream, the moon’s appearance caused the conversation to get a little more serious.  People are curious.  Their imaginations have been pricked by the  

HOLY GHOST….

we were able to talk about end times…. Not a lot, but a little….baby steps.   

(We don’t want to scare anyone away.) ;)

God is moving…

(And yes, I thought about the fact we started this new venture on Shavuot/Pentecost SONday....it wasn't planned, at least not by us.)

BTW, here is a question for you….

What comes at the end of time

And at the beginning of eternity?

Before you get the idea this is a spiritually heavy question, remember I spent last week with two of the granddaughters visiting…..the 11 y/o is full of riddles. ;)  Answer is at the bottom of the post…the way bottom, by my signature.

Linda over at Prairie Flower Farm is hosting a new giveaway…starting TODAY.  I don’t know what she is up to, but if her new header picture is any indication….it’s something RED and lovely!

Also, if you want information about Purses with Promises…click on P w/ P.  The more the merrier!

I am trying to keep last Friday’s Fasting and Fearless Friday post updated …..God is doing great and mighty things!  Come and be a part!

Now….
