Be sure to share this message with your friends!

they have made me a keeper of the vineyards, but, my own vineyard I have not kept” Song of Solomon 1:6

Your soul cries out that You want balance in your life!

You are a child of God—you accept it—others recognize it.
It is admirable that you attempt to walk the talk daily through prayer-meditation-and your actions.








Actions! How many actions?








For whom?

Stop for a second and look into the mirror of your life, are you all ways on the go? Constantly working to ensure everyone else is happy!
Dragging home at all hours every night, for a few moments of unrestful sleep.





Still hearing the wolves snapping at the door are you?.




All from Spending so much time on the projects of other people.

Stop! Put your brakes on! Take a deep breath.

Ask yourself if the wine of life is to be sweet, are you getting nourishment from your own vineyards?








You will by putting God first in all you do!

Then set some time for just You, enjoy a sunset, do your nails, sip coffee and eat cinnamon toast, all alone, all yours!

Followed by designated time set aside for those who rely on you.
Don’t be bashful now again take some time for your self, talk uninterrupted on the phone with a friend or hold the hand of your most significant other. You would be surprised how rejuvenating either one of those simple little acts can be during times of stress.








Finally, at end the day, while soaking in a hot bath, a steamy shower or just sipping tea, while staring out the window as the sun sinks behind the landscape take a few moments of praise for gaining the wisdom to make the right choices that day.

As you bring a balanced schedule to your life you will realize now that is living!




Those around you will adjust, believe me or ask any doctor or lawyer, and they will become happy for you, they will become happy because of you.

The best part is that as you bring your universe into balance you will become refreshed emotionally, physically and spiritually enabling you to give to others even more effectively.








But YOU must be the one to take the first step!

Don't forget July 29, 2007 is the fifth Sunday of July, we encourage you to bring school supplies for underprivileged children to be distributed through a local school.

BUILDING FUND
A few weeks ago we started putting the “Magic” back into the penny, to all of you who have dropped those reclaimed pennies from the chest of mother earth, WE THANK YOU. I have a hunch you are going to be surprised by the end of the month over how that simple little act of picking up a carelessly tossed copper coin can add up .….and to those that have yet to join those of us with our noses to the ground as we walk out of 7-11, grocery stores or malls, please feel free to assist us with putting the magic back into the penny as each and every coin is going towards the growing building fund.
Just bring them in any amount, any Sunday and toss them into the special jar,,,,Danny as been successfully shanghaied, along with Fred to roll them at the end of the month. (P.S. you betcha we will take rolled coins too)

WOMEN’S MINISTRY:

Would you like to share a chuckle, a giggle and possibly some really good belly laughs? Make plans to join us for a matinee of "Menopause, the Musical" When we get 12 women to join together to attend on August 12, 2007 at 2:00 PM we will qualify for a group rate, please email back with your response or call Kat at 813-546-1461 to let her know you are joining the group.

Our plans are to see you at our next breakfast Saturday August 18, 9:00AM at J. Christopher’s 14366 N. Dale Mabry. $15.00 will cover your breakfast, taxes, tip and meeting room. Please join us in reading and discussing "The Gift of Change" by Marianne Williamson. We will be discussing the second chapter. Even if you are unable to attend our breakfast, please read along and add your vibration to our discussion.

In June we made “Joy Jars”. Everyone brought their own jar decorated with the Joy sticker, some with butterflies. They received an inspirational thought from the teachings of Abraham and a packet of “Angel Slips” with daily tasks for inspiration, fun, fellowship and sharing. Each person was encouraged to add their own slips of paper with an inspirational thought or quote or joke or story to provide their own daily joy.

This past week three new slips were added a bible verse, a quote, and a prayer. When you come to the Women's Ministry breakfast in August please bring 10 copies of a quote, a verse, or a prayer for everyone's Joy Jars.

Joy stickers and angels slips are available for the asking, you have to provide the jar.

We look forward to seeing you in our future.

Blessings,
