Picture of Jesus

I don't especially like pictures of Jesus because we really don't know what He looks like. But I got an email from a dear friend today with paintings of Jesus and I loved this particular one because it shows Him with a child. Whether it is what Jesus looks like or not, it clearly shows the love He has for children. Don't know who painted it, if anyone does please let me know. I just wanted to share it with you.
Beautiful. Today, I really need to sit on His lap and cuddle with Him.

RANDOM PICTURES AND THOUGHTS

I love young people. Children, teenagers, college kids, young guys that are either around the age Tony was when he died, or around the age he would be now if he had lived.
God has blessed me with so many young people in my life! My grandchildren and nieces and nephews and the young people at church make me very happy!



The youth drama was about being in bondage spiritually. Some of these young people are in bondage spiritually and physically. I pray for them daily. Jesus loves them. And I do too.

A funny thing happened to me on facebook today. I get news updates from Channel 18 and they had posted something about the earthquake in China. Several people had commented and one guy said "God bless them." Another guy named Tony had commented after him and said "god bless them? I guess it was the devil that caused the earthquake." He sounded so mad at God! So I commented and said, "God bless them and God help us all. I will pray for you Tony." I meant it with all my heart. And I have been praying for him. Several people commented to him and he just got madder. Then he sent me a message on facebook. "Sheila, do you ever look in the mirror in the mornings and ask god why he didn't make you pretty?" I got so tickled at that but it made me so sad too. I really hadn't meant to make him so mad. So I replied back and said, "LOL! No, Tony I have never asked God that. He loves me no matter how ugly I am. I'm really sorry for making you so mad, and I just want you to know that God loves you too." I haven't heard back from him yet.

BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH HOMECOMING April 11, 2010

The ladies on the kitchen committee get to the school early to receive food.

Most everyone stops and brings food on their way to Sunday School...

Even the preacher!


More food...


Keeping the food hot and cold is part of our job!


Reserving a place for one of our Senior Saints!


Time to put the food out.

I think we always have more deserts than anything else!


We love these rolls but are even more thankful for the "Bread of Life" our Savior Jesus Christ!


Great food...Wonderful fellowship!

I am so blessed by my Bethel Baptist Church Family!
