MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA!

There is a couple from our church that are missionaries in Cameroon, Africa. Their names are Joel and Kristen (<-- go here) and they would love for you to go thru their adventure with them thru their blog. Kristen's Dad is one of our Pastor's at Kingwood, Pastor Larry Jones. They need our prayers as they live with and witness to the wonderful people there in Africa. Please visit their blog and leave them a comment. Thanks and God Bless!!

"I LOVE THANKSGIVING"

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Mama always found a way to make the holidays special. The awesome smells of roasting turkey, corn-bread dressing, giblet gravy, green beans, sweet potato casserole, macaroni & cheese, deviled eggs, stuffed celery, olives (green and ripe), cranberry sauce (jellied only), ambrosia, million dollar pies, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, rolls and sweet tea!! I'm sure I've left some things out.
We would wake up to all these wonderful smells. We would all hang out in our pj's helping mama prepare the food while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and couldn't wait till we saw Santa riding on his sleigh with all his reindeer at the very end. Such a warm and fuzzy feeling I get remembering that.
We would eat till we were sick. Go lay down on the sofa or in the floor on a pallet with pillows, take a nap, watch movies or sometimes sit around the table playing games till we decided we were hungry again. I think we actually ate one meal that day: continuous, ALL DAY LONG!!!
I wish I could turn back the clock sometimes. I pray that everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.

"HAPPY THANKSGIVING"!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" LEIGH-LEIGH!!!

"IN CHRIST ALONE"

In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song.
This cornerstone, this solid ground;
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love! What depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.
My comforter, my all in all;
Here in the love of Christ I stand!

In Christ alone who took on flesh;
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness;
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
'Till on that cross as Jesus died;
The wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the depth of Christ I live!

There in the ground His body lay;
Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day:
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in depth:
This is the power of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
'Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

We sang this song in Church last night during praise and worship and even though I have heard and sang this song many times, last night these words really spoke to me. It is an awesome song!! Hope you enjoy the words as much as I do!!

NEW LOOK!!

I have a NEW LOOK and a NEW NAME!! I LOVE it!! Cherries are one of my most favorite things and I decided that since I personally have a new look that my blog needed one too. Although I will be keeping my old name I wanted my blog to have a new one.

A great BIG "THANKS" goes out to Crystal for creating it for me!

I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
