Tip of the Day 6/4/12

99 Days of Summer: One of the favorite summer activities of kids is forming a club. "Boys Only" or "No Boys Allowed" signs might appear on a backyard playhouse or garage door. Made up passwords and rules to follow. Weekly meetings that consist of drinking lemonade and reading comic books or these days playing video games. Why not help your kids form a backyard club this summer. Maybe you have always wanted to be a part of a book club or cooking club. If you don't know where to join one, start your own. Maybe you could teach some friends how to crochet or knit. If you aren't ready to start one yourself check your library or bookstores for a book club, a local craft store can direct you to a knitting group. Whatever your interests you can find a group of people to join in the fun.

Word for Today, Robe: Have you ever stayed at a hotel that had big fluffy white robes in your room or maybe you spent a day at a spa and they wrapped you in a fluffy white robe afterward. I have a big fluffy white winter robe and a lighter weight white robe for summer. For some reason most fluffy robes seem to be white. The feeling of being wrapped in one after a shower or long bath is luxurious. You feel clean and secure. We have been promised a white robe of righteousness to be wrapped in for all eternity if we only believe that we can do nothing to earn it. It is a gift from God when we believe in Jesus and His righteousness. My robe of my flesh is like filthy rags, but He covers me in His clean white fluffy robe forever. "He has covered me with the robe of righteousness." "The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all who believe."
