Christian Women Connection
February 2012
It is hard to believe this is the last day of January and winter has finally arrived these last two weeks! In our area our school kids had Monday, January the 16th off as we celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. day. Then the following two days were closed for "snow days." They went to school on Thurday and then had Friday and the following Monday off either from more snow or icy roads!!
In June of 2010 at the North American Convention of the Church of God in Anderson, Indiana, I bought a paper back book on sale for twenty-five cents entitled POSITIVE PRAYERS FOR POWER-FILLED LIVING by Robert H. Schuller. I would like to share one of the prayers, entitled "Make Me a Christian." It says:
Holy Spirit, fill my life by
making me a true Christ-In.
A mind through which Christ thinks,
A heart through which Christ loves,
A tongue through which Christ speaks.
A face through which Christ glows,
A hand through which Christ lifts.
Amen.
May we always keep that prayer in mind as we "interact" with others!! May our words be as a "sweet aroma."
Our state treasurer, Aletha McNeilly, just called to let me know that we have received, so far, $54,829.69 from the Christ's Birthday Offering. She said it keeps coming in! Thanks!!
Please start planning now to attend our 2012 State Convention which will be April 27th and 28th at the Lexington Lansing Hotel with Bev Michielson from Holland, Michigan as our "special" speaker. We also have the singing group "Sweet Spirit" from the Midland area who will be closing out our convention with a concert. The local presidents should receive, the Lord willing, the convention packets by the end of this week with much more information included. Looking forward to seeing you there!
My love, Ann Hawkins, President
