*: Condolence gift basket we received from friends...

This is a photo of the gift basket/clock was given to us from friends of ours in condolence for the loss of my brother. Isn't it wonderful??? It was filled with tins of cookies, candy, cheese, meat, and other goodies, plus this clock case is positively gorgeous!! The company that sells these, ABC Gifts, is owned and operated by other friends of ours (not the same ones who sent it.) They always do such a wonderful job with their baskets. Below is the thank you card I made for the friends who had ordered it for us... I hope they like the card as much as I appreciated the gift basket!

What do you think??? Leave a comment; let me know...

Prayer Notes:

When prayers go forth you are not only giving a supply, you are also receiving a bountiful supply into your own life. Prayer will lift you up and put you where you are supposed to be.

Prayer must have priority. Prayer must be our bolt to lock up the night, our key to open the day. Prayer is power. Prayer is wealth. Prayer is health of the soul.~ Charles Finney

A spirit of prayer will create an atmosphere for the plans and purposes of God to come to pass. Those things that come to pass usually follow people who are fueled by desire for God and His will to be done; and it is desire that fuels the prayers of a righteous man. Effective prayer is not a casual experience; it is a prayer that comes from deep within and it has to be continual. God is revealing things to us all the time. God is constantly preparing us for things to come; when he reveals them to us it should not come to us as a surprise as God will prepare us to receive them. If you let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth, you will pray out the perfect will of God.

WORSHIP:
There is an inseparable link between worship and the glory of God. Worship brings His glory into manifestation. Once His glory comes, it produces worship in the hearts of people who genuinely love the Lord. It is hard to really experience Him without expressing gratitude toward Him. When the realms of heaven spills over into the earth, worship, which goes on continually in Heaven, will be experienced in like manner by those on earth.
