So Tuesday has come and is almost over. Today started as a great day, sunshining with the wind blowing and a to do list ready to be tackled. But God had different plans and proves onces again that he is in charge. We lost one of our dearest saints from our church, today. God took her home in a peaceful sleep. She will be dearly missed not only in our church but our community. Our God is an awesome God and he is the one always in control, we should never doubt that.
Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. ~Psalm 25:4-5 NLT

Tips, Tricks, & Ideas
*Instead of flowers for a funeral, give the family postage stamps. This will help them cut down on costs when sending Thank You notes for floral arrangements, food, and help.
*Recycle, Reuse, Reduce: Coffee drinkers save your grounds and put them in your flower beds, flower pots, or around your roses. It is a great way to start compost and enrich the soil for great looking flowers/plants.
*Dryer Lint: Instead of throwing this away, simply use an old pair of panty hose or knee hi's fill with the lint from the dryer and hang it in a tree. The birds will use the lint to help build their nests.
