May 1st Meeting

 "What if every message you heard was POSITIVE?"


That was Janna Lamison's question for us this morning. When her mother-in-law passed away this past year, Janna reflected on what she would miss most about the woman who had meant a great deal. Janna decided what she would most miss was the way her mother-in-law had of speaking words of blessing and healing into people's lives.

"Our greatest weakness is our tongue," Janna explained. Although we tend to see the negative, how we process what we hear is vital. We can believe the lie, or we can recognize it for what it is and find the deeper TRUTH. Janna talked about how Esau gave up his birthright for Jacob's soup in Genesis 25, and how we shouldn't give up the best gifts God has given us for immediate gratification. Instead of believing and spreading the negative, dig for and respond to the positive in people.

We also had some fun Mother's Day giveaways and brainstormed for ideas for next year!
