Supplies and 7-up(s)!

WOW!!!  Will you just take a look at that???  This is a very large basket that is beginning to overflow with all of its items ... items that will be taken to Honduras next month.  Did I just say "next month"?  Whoa!  The mission trip to Honduras is only about six weeks away ... time is really flying by!

Anyway, there are several neighbors and mission supporters who have been helping us collect items and supplies needed for the mission to Honduras.  Here's a big thank-you and a shout-out to Michele!!  Our sweet neighbor, Joyce, brought a whole bag full of goodies today.  Can you see those super-cute hair pretties??  Some little Honduran girls are going to be really excited!



So, here's a little fun encouragement to hopefully help you through your day.  I came across this in a stack of papers and thought it would be nice to share.  It's called 7-UP ... no, not like the soda (but speaking of, did anybody else used to just l-o-v-e 7-UP?  Well, ... I did) ... these 7-UP(s) might just have caffeine because they could really get you going!  ENJOY!

The 7-ups! (original author unknown)

WAKE UP!
Decide to have a good day!
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. ~Psalm 118:24

DRESS UP!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. ~1Samuel 16:7

SHUT UP!
Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
He who guards his lips guards his soul. ~Proverbs 13:3

STAND UP!
… for what you believe in.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that youprofess your faith and are saved. ~Romans 10:10

LOOK UP!
… to the Lord.
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. ~Psalm 105:4    

REACH UP!
… for something higher.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

LIFT UP!
… your prayers.
Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. ~Philippians 4:6
