Current Memory Verses

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]
3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit,[b] as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood,[c] the forgiveness of sins.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which[d] is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

Well, summer has finally made it to the northwest (usa) and as a result, I'm not ..... inside much. I did want to direct you to two other wonderful posts. The first is my little sister's blog. She is a missionary in France. They have been living there for one year now, just completed their first year of language school. Jenn is a very thougthful kind of writer. Her post today is well worth the read. I hope you enjoy it!

And once again, I direct you to my daughter's blog. We celebrated our son Benjamin's graduation from high school this past weekend. She has written a post about it, so I will forego the typing and get back to the gardening!

We are getting sheep ready for the fair, fighting a bit of hoof rot, shearing and trying to fatten up a particularly small lamb. Hopefully, we'll have some great pictures/posts from that event!

May the Lord bless you and keep you!

Oh I love the picture, you must live in the country too? I would love to learn more about sheep.

Thank you for sharing the other sites, I'll have to come back and take a nice relaxing visit to them soon! It's always so nice to see other encouraging and challenging Christian sites.

Blessings to you!

I am enjoying catching up on your blog. It feels like I have been away from blogland a long time. I love, love, love your pictures of the the 3 girls birthday parties (we do many of our birthdays in multiples, because
of course two of our girls have the same birthday... like 2 of yours, our older two boys have birthdays in September and our younger two boys have birthdays in January.... all just a few days apart from each other. Only Olga gets her own day. :) But anyhow, I just couldn't get over those precious pictures your daughter took, and how adorable everyone looked... I'm thinking magazine story.

I read your sister's, and daughters blog posts... thoroughly enjoyed.

Many Blessings, Keri,
Pam

Keri, Please show us those fair ribbons when you get them! :)

Thanks to the link to your sister's blog. I use to live in Europe and I did a Missions Trip in my younger years to Belgium and France. It will be very neat to follow her. And, on a side note, how nice that we have technology that we can follow while she is living her walk with Christ out in that country.
