Over the years I have learned when you serve, when you give, you get back (life is indeed more abundant then) just got back from hanging out with jane : ) (elder of the churches wife).................

The scarf I'm working on now aka 10/14/2023 when I'm adding to this post and I agree with 2015 me........serving is the way to live............why cause humble people serve, humility is important. Proud people want to BE SERVED. It's ok to be served as well............but I feel as a christian you should want to serve (like you should want that to be the way you live ALWAYS.......as a follower of Jesus)................ 

Luke 22:27 "For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth."

Over the years I have learned when you serve, when you give, you get back (life is indeed more abundant then) just got back from hanging out with jane : ) (elder of the churches wife). Had a good time, I was definately trying to "serve" her and she was trying to "serve" me JANE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) it's alright : )   

We ended up making cards.........................(I forgot to bring my camera with me)..............

I sometimes battle being "self absorbed" (you don't even have to look far on this here blog to figure that out) 

 I've found serving, in serving others................I gain the life more abundantly jesus came to bring me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." Jesus served all kinds of people..........he sure did go to many a people's house etc. (jesus didn't have a house so he didn't have people over) but he served and he lived a fantastically abundant life via serving!

Philippians 2:5-8 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

  I told Jane today (there's a conference at apostolic christian church of america in silverton next month on the topic of "communication" my husbands going to it - I'm stayin home with the kids) that I've gotten better at communication over time.............part of communication is being attentive to the person you are speakin to's needs. And I have a friend that, made it clear to me she likes me calling her on the phone and I took note of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have another friend who likes to hang out with me and have "girl time" do "girl time" things with me, and I took note of that! 

  Friendships if they were one sided that pry wouldn't work out to good. I've found the more I give of my time etc. etc. the more I get basically....................it's worth it..............................it's worth it to lay down my life and serve. 

(being self absorbed - bad plan) 

  And I pretty well invited myself back over to janes house : ) I'm real bad about that..............I've been really bad about that ever since I was a little little kid (when I was little I was at my friends sally's house all the time, like near every weekend.........................her mom made really good breakfast burritos!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 

  It was a good visit for me, left knowing ok, my church likes me : ) 

(my latest painting, not fully done yet, "American Robin" eggs in a nest) not american robin birds on top though those are dollar store birds : ) 

One our cats climbed up on our refridgerator and like killed my cuckoo clock........................the clock is in pieces and broken, like the whole clock was killed! Think I miss my cuckoo clock. We didn't have nowhere to hang it that the cats couldn't get to it. 

 I have a cold, but adding a song anyways...............Zion's Harp song 159 "Self-Sacrifice" very popular song verses 1 through 3...................I HAVE A COLD THOUGH!.......................

Record music and voice >>

Have a great week earth!

Mrs. Carlson's classrooms fundraiser is now fully funded 😁 But there are many more classrooms with many more needs at Donors Choose....................

  

I need prayer, cause I don't want no more filthy communication coming out of my mouth ever again I repent of that stuffs fully Colossians 3:8 "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."..........

Update 9/27/2023 I did 2 tie dye t-shirts yesterday might wear one today 😁 And I discovered tie dye tik tok, there are some very amazing tie dye t-shirts being made these days. And of course I worked out to try and send my "extreme asthma" into remission...........................

In the past my tie dye shirts did not turn out to well, but this time, I soaked them in I forget what it's called there's a mixture your supposed to soak tie dye shirts in before you dye them - I did that. And I let these marinate in baggies all night. And then I'm rinsing them, sticking them in the dryer to set the dye's (per the instructions). I'm doing tie dye right this time, and have plans to tie dye a dress today 😁.................

(My latest painting, I believe this instrument is a mini chello, 

it was broken like this when I bought it at goodwill)

I need prayer cause I don't want no more filthy communication coming out of my mouth ever again!!!!!!! I repent of that stuffs fully.................Colossians 3:8 "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."

   My husbands family their communication has for years not been............sparkly, sparkly pristine. 1 Corinthians 15:33 "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." Though they themselves, their communication was I do deem corrupted, due to the buisiness which I won't name the buisiness, I will say most them either are working there right now or have worked there, and I have been to this buisiness, and I have heard the less then sparkly clean communication going on all over the place at this buisiness..........................

   So their communication I do recogn has been corrupted, because people are not born naturally speaking like drunken pirates. (maybe not as bad as drunken pirates, I'd say like a pirate a few beers later) PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN NATURALLY SPEAKING LIKE THAT! They learn to speak in that way in which is "filthy" via people they are around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  And I know Corinthians 15:33 is true ".............evil communications CORRUPT GOOD MANNERS" I really spend a lot of time around my husbands family and after awhile, I have time and time again, got to thinkin to myself "ah all this bad communication this is normal, this is """""""ok"""""""""" NO! 

 Even if the whole world was talking like drunken pirates or in this instance pirates a few beers later................Colossians 3:8 "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."

  Out of my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like completely, not even in personal e-mails not ever!!!!!!!!!!! GONE! That stuffs isn't supposed to remain in my mouth ever........and I completely don't want to have no "anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, FILTHY COMMUNICATION IN MY MOUTH NO MORE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  It's not good never, filthy communication ain't, though there is clearly places on earth where it is apparently societally accepted and the "norm" to have some really filthy communication happening.................if you were at this buisiness ok, and filthy language is all around you like that god's still watching! Matthew 12:36 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." I think we all have "idle words" by idle I mean, these are words that aren't having to do with the bible, like you talking about fixing a car for instance it's better to keep those words clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

CLEAN! TO NOT HAVE NO FILTHY COMMUNICATION COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH LIKE EVER! Even if you can get away with it, cause your somewhere where people are talking like drunken sailors a few drinks later..............YOU ARE INDEED GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT SOMEDAY TO GOD FOR THAT "COMMUNICATION"

  I've battled with "evil communication" for sometime now, I've noticed, I'll be around my husbands family and I'll really completely get to thinking, all that evil communication is actually ok, cause in their family it is given a green light and is considered normal, ok and completely acceptible. 

  Going to remind myself and keep reminding myself, that it's not good, not the thing for me to have ever, no "evil communication" I don't want to speak no more evil communication. 

  I need prayer. That I never forget, that I never again get to thinking that a bunch of drunken few beers later conversation is normal and ok. 

  Have a great day earth, be sober, don't be pirates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
