99 Days of Summer: As summer is winding down,
the Farmer's Markets are filled with beautiful produce. Don't miss out
on the bounty of beautiful fruits and veges that can fill your pantry
and freezer for the winter ahead. Make a giant pot of spaghetti sauce
from the tomatoes, peppers, and onions, pack them in Ball jars, freezer
containers, or freezer baggies. Canning is time consuming, but anyone
can find the time to do freezing. Don't miss out, you will happy to see
that produce in your freezer in January.
, apparently it is. According
to this verse, if we are filled with the Spirit we will speak to each
other in a way that pleases God and is pleasant to the hearer. We all
know how much easier it is to learn something when it is in the form of a
song. How did you learn the alphabet? The same is true of scripture
and God's principle's. As we listen to and sing songs of praise and
worship those words are becoming a part of us. Ever notice how you can
hear a song from 1972 and still sing every word? Music is a powerful
force. In case you were unaware, Satan was a worship leader in heaven
before he became puffed up in pride and was eventually cast out. Music
is not bad, it is what is done with it and what it can do to us that can
be bad. I know someone who says listening to a certain style of music
takes them down a path they want to avoid. I can listen to the same
song and it will take me to a happy place. Our daily speech is peppered
with lines of songs because music permeates our world. It is playing
in every store and restaurant we enter. If we are listening to
uplifting, encouraging music then our speech will be filled with
encouraging, uplifting words. I love all kinds of music, but I want it
to be words that will encourage, not tear down. What are you feeding
your mind? "Sing with grace in your hearts."
