A Psalm of Praise and Thankfulness for my brothers and sister

The Lord Is merciful
He shows mercy to all of his children
God shows His loving Mercy with blessings and second chances

We praise and honor you Lord with your blessings
I praise and thank you for my blessing of Friends for life


When in the hours I thought we couldn't be friends
Holy Spirit you filled inside of me and comforted me

Now I thank you Lord for my new Friends
Even though we are sometimes enemies, thanks to you God we get through it

Even when I think our friendship is on a hook
I pray and holy Spirit You fill our hearts with Thankfulness for each other


My Gracious, Merciful, Loving , Perfect, Just, and forgiving God has given me more than my fair share of second chances with my Friends for Life
When we argue and yell
When we stomp off in hate
Thank you God I still Have my Friends for Life

A Psalm by Sarah Jay

Goats for LIFE

The early-morning bleating of a dairy goat is a happy sound for children in countries like Haiti and Malawi. They know it’s ready to be milked! A goat nourishes a family with fresh milk, cheese, and yogurt, and can offer a much-needed income boost by providing offspring and extra dairy products for sale at the market. It even provides fertilizer that can dramatically increase crop yields. A perennial favorite, both to give and receive!
Alright, here it is. A few weeks ago I went to a Casting Crowns concert in Birmingham, and the lead singer of Casting Crowns started talking about this organization called World Vision. To be totally honest I didn't really think much about it after the concert, but the other day we got a World Vision catalog in the mail. THAT GOT ME GOING! As I was looking through the catalog I was brain storming, so now I have so many projects I want to do. Oh, sorry you might be wondering what World Vision is. Well, it's an organization that does projects around the world, like build wells, houses ,and schools, and provide tools for impoverished families around the world to have a better life. They do a lot more than what I just said, but you can go to the World Vision website to get more information. Anyways, like I said I have so many projects I want to do, but I'm just starting with two. One of them is buying chickens through World Vision in honor of my family and friends for Christmas instead of buying them presents. Another, which I hope you will help me with, is the purchase of a pair of goats to give to a family or village. When you buy things through world Vision you don't receive them. World Vision sends them where they're needed, like poor villages, families in poverty around the world. To the right there is a place where you can make a donation using a Pay Pal account or credit card to help me with this goal.
I will post when we have made enough money to get the goats.

thankfulness










Are you still complaining?Observe around you and be thankful for all that you have in this Transitory Lifetime...We are fortunate, we have much more than we need to be content.Let's try not to feed this endless cycle of consumerism and Immorality in which this "modern and advanced" society forgets and ignores the other 2/3rds of our brothers and sisters.
LET US COMPLAIN LESS AND GIVE MORE!!
