The Daily Lily

It seems for the last few weeks my heart and mind has been routinely visiting the thought of evangelism. How can I be more effective in today’s times by using the gifts and talents that God has given me. I have had a very rewarding summer with family and friends. I have been blessed to attend a spiritual retreat hosted and taught by this spiritual website that I am a daily part of. Also, attending Wednesday Bible Studies at my local church with my family. As well as a summer camp meeting with morning and night services for almost a week. We even had the opportunity at both the retreat and camp to enjoy sharing meals in fellowship time. How blessed I have been. But, the question still lingers in my mind, ‘how can I improve my skill of blessing others with spiritual food?

If you attended ‘Happy Home Camp Meeting’ write your story! Or, maybe a story from the other 86 years they have held summer camp meetings. Would love to hear the history of Happy Home Camp Meetings. I attended one night and one morning meeting for the first time this year. It was wonderful!

I love fashion and dressing up! Dressing up is what we called fashion when Barbara and I were teens. My teen friend, Barbara, and I had a little fashion show and entertained our dailylily.com friends. What a blast! No Starbuck coffee or Barbara ice tea. Just cold water and that was the drink to beat the heat! She even knows how to make that taste just right. You go girl!

We sure missed Needles (Tammy) and Chickenfarmer (Wendy) but, they were riding roller coasters at Busch Gardens with their boys. I invite you now just click and enjoy the show with my friend, Barbara.

” Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)

The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico has the world buzzing on how to plug the leak. And, rightly so.

Some of us may be leaking from our inner man in much the same way. Our mouth is spouting out all kinds of harmful gases and showing just how defected our hearts and minds are. We have put our pipe line minds down deep in the oil wells of the heart and busy pumping out through our mouths for all its worth. The oil from the leak in the Gulf of Mexico has wrecked havoc on water, land and mammal. And, out mouths are havocking out humankind.

Adiza is an intelligent 38-year-old woman. She has three children ranging from 5 months to 18 years old. Adiza’s husband is an electrician. For the past 10 years, Adiza has sold ‘minerals’ (soft drinks), pastries, and toffees. Adiza will use the loan to buy more minerals (soft drinks) and pastries. Adiza hopes to eventually buy a large refrigerator so she can make more pastries and sell them wholesale. Her future goal is also to provide her children with quality education.

THE FARAWAY LOOK IN THE EYES OF THE OLD; IS FULL OF WISDOM; THINGS WE DON’T KNOW; THEY HAVE SHED MANY TEARS; THEY’VE CRINKLED IN SMILES; THEY HAVE SEEN BUMPY ROADS; AND MANY SMOOTH MILES; NO BOOKS CAN HOLD THE WISDOM THEY KNOW;

A Good Shepherd, I would like to share about a good shepherd,
I read about A Good Shepherd and the writer said, He has two very important qualities. One, He knows His sheep. He calls them by name. That is, each and every one of His sheep He knows their name and calls them by their name.
