Sunday, February 23, 2014....

"By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is

                                 love, joy, peace,

                                                 patience, kindness, generosity,

                                                                 faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

  There is no law against such things."
                                           
                                                                                            - Galatians 5:22-23 (NRSV)

A Christmas gift from my sister.

This Bible reference has been the theme for our Conference United Methodist Women for this year.

The Mission Focus for today in the United Methodist Women Prayer Calendar is the New Bethlehem Community Center, Augusta, Georgia.  I offer a prayer of thanks and praise for the work done here to make a difference daily in the lives of women, children, and youth.

May this Sunday be a blessing to you!
