Peanut Butter and Jelly!!!

This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!!!

We are having an evangelist at our church this week.  Tonight is the last night.  It has been such a blessing.  We know what we are supposed to do and we even get in a rut sometimes.  It is just good to have someone tell it to us again. Someone different and in a different way.  He spoke the other night about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  Oh how I love a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with cruncy peanut butter and homemade blackberry jam.  There's nothing better.  But in our spiritual life are we getting good peanut butter and jelly?  The peanut butter is our daily walk with the Lord.  Are we, am I, spending quality time with God every day.  Reading God's word, praying and praising him.  I had to admit that I do not get may daily devotional time in every day.  With nine children, as soon as my feet  hit the floor I am off and running and don't stop until I crawl back into bed in the evening.  But it is so important to make the time.  I have found that when I put the two youngest ones down for a nap, I sit in my rocker by their beds and read my bible.(they would crawl out of their beds if I didn't sit there until they went to sleep!! little stinkers And then we need to remember when we do get the chance to spend the time with God that it is quality time and not just going through the motions.  I've been asking my family "did you get your peanut butter today?"  They laugh, but they know how important it is.  Now to the Jelly!!  The jelly is our church attendance, our fellowship with other believers.  It is true that we need to be fed and led by our shepherd that God has put over us.  There are all kinds of needs in a church, we need to go to church with that in mind.  What need can you meet today? 

Anyway, I thought it was so good to hear it that way!!!!

I hope you all have a blessed day in the Lord,

God bless,

Mare

I never thought of it like this, but I think you're on to something. Thanks for giving me something to think about.

It is amazing who you run into in cyberspace!

I ran into your blog over at homeschoolblogger. I have a blog over there as well. I'm glad I thought to look you up over here.

It is hard to believe you have one that's 20. I'm sure you weren't yet 20 the last time I saw you.

It was fun to read your entries though I see you haven't checked in lately.

Anyway, if you check in here, tell everyone in your extended family 'hello'.
