Emails with faith friends, 05FEB – 06FEB

60A – I just made praise pockets for work for heart health month and I will use the same stuff for church and get them put up this weekend – one big pocket for God and then smaller bag pockets for our church staff (to start) – and then we can decide if we want to continue with more church families…  I love it when I can do one task for two completely different places! On Thu, Feb 5, a friend wrote:

“Just made me think of an item that I bought years ago when our previous praise band leader was still at church. It was a porcelain bowl with a pitcher attached to it. It was set up to look like the pitcher was pouring something into the bowl. It came with a short pencil and small pieces of paper. The idea was that when you walked by the bowl, you would think of a blessing, write it down and then put it in the bowl. It was called a blessing bowl, and it was designed to show your blessings overflowing. Gonna have to find that bowl now.! 🙂

60B – On Feb 6, I had an amazing email conversation between three of my women’s retreat friends with whom I shared my faith opening early – they were crucial in their support…

Two emailed me the link within 30 minutes of each other about this great contemporary praise song….  Third Day “Soul on Fire”  – and the third, to whom I forwarded it to,  bought that same album that same morning – wow – I am glad so many are running until their soul is on fire! And my aerobics this morning with my neighbor, who picks the dvd we use…was a FIRE theme, lol….And that day I was wearing red hot red for heart health too!

I wrote to all 3 friends: “whoa – when 2 people send you something that means i better watch it – cool – i mean HOT that was an awesome song… i am forwarding this to someone who prefers the hot to the cold – running a mile a minute is TOTALLY how I feel these days – maybe that is why i need the snow to cool me off!!!!!  I can go outside in my barefeet in this weather anyway!

thanks both of you!”

2^nd friend wrote back: “she and I were on the same page, we both see you as “on fire”. 🙂 “
