What Happens…

What happens when the Holy Spirit is at work in a message is that the Lord speaks to the littlest or least mature person and to the oldest or more mature in the same message. 

In the church we’ve been attending in recent months, for instance, the pastor is preaching to adults, but my 7 year old is in the worship service listening to the sermon, following in her Bible, and taking notes alongside us.

Her take away may not be as sophisticated as my now 50 year old spiritually mature husband’s take away, but she is learning because the Holy Spirit is working through the pastor’s message. We know she is learning from the questions she asks, or the observations she makes about what she has heard or read during the sermon.

God’s word, when treated with integrity, respect, and reverence, speaks to all ages at the same time, and there is no need to pitch or to water down the message to the less spiritually mature. People hear what the Holy Spirit wants them to hear through the Word of God.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings…” Hebrews 13:8-9a

To God be the glory for what He is doing in my children’s lives as they learn spiritual truth. I’m grateful to be one of the tools He uses to sharpen those truths instilled in them by the Holy Spirit.

Blessings,

Deb

 

 

 

Are You Preparing Your Gift Giving?

What do you do on Black Friday? Do you stand in lines outside the store? Do you thrive on the crowds? Or do you prefer online shopping? Will you be looking for good deals on Cyber Monday?

Personally, I avoid all Black Friday shopping. The gifts that we send long distance are already wrapped and shipped, or packed to be shipped this coming week. Local gifts or gifts for our children are waiting to be wrapped, but are all sorted and organized. Most of our outgoing gifts were handmade or purchased throughout the year from area small businesses, craft vendors, or through causes we support.

Gift donations to Operation Christmas Child or for other organizations are delivered.

We love to give gifts, and we love to celebrate Christmas, even though we are on a tight budget, and we love to be generous with those in need.

Lilla Rose is offering an online sale this weekend, now through Sunday at midnight PST.

No matter which lovely lady is on your gift giving list, Lilla Rose hair jewelry and accessories can be big help!

I’m working on updating the SHOP feature of LoveLeavingLegacy, too. Here you will find gifts that coordinate with Lilla Rose products, or gifts where the profits of sales go to the adoption grant of a little girl with Down syndrome, Esther. Our family is attempting to raise $1000 by December 31, 2015 for her grant in order to help her future family with adoption expenses. I’m adding more products throughout this weekend, so please keep checking back!

Or, you can see what is available on our business facebook page and message me there!

I’d love to help!

I am helping Jonathan fundraise for his trip with a Lilla Rose fundraiser party.

30% of each retail order will be donated to his Managed Missions donation link when the party closes on September 3rd, 2015.

There is a Lilla Rose sale until midnight, Saturday,  August 29th, 2015.

Update on Sunday August 30th, 2015: The sale is over, but orders are still being accepted via the party link through September 7th!

All are still available in most sizes at this August 30, 2015 POST sale update!
