upbringing.To a Cajun your aunt is called Taunte and your Uncle Nonke.How that is spelled in Paris french I don't know but here I spelled it exactly as a Cajun would say it.We still raised chickens in our yards up until about ten years ago when the ordinances tightened up.lol.Louisiana Campmeeting is totally fun.If you have never been then save up cherie.They will let you rent a bunk for two dollars a night.

Land of bugs, mud and rain.

Been there, never revisited that.

Hey you must not have gone to Campmeeting and on Missions day been blessed to hear all the returning Missionaries.Louisiana sends out alot of Missionaries.The Freemans were from there,The Riddicks and many more.
Its an awesome place to be on the Fourth of July when everyone celebrates Campmeeting style.Bugs are nothing.I can smell the gumbo and coffee and
fresh baked french bread all the way from Florida.

Have you ever been awake at five or six am and smelled the coffee brewing and have an old Gram,what we call our grandmothers, bring you a cup of strong sweet coffee in a small cup while you were still in bed?
That takes me back to the time of feather beds..sigh....

Ladies Conferences at La Camp have always the highlight of my year.I love to hear Sister Nona Freeman and Sister Vesta Mangun pour it out with all their hearts.It makes me glad to be saved.This year I am headed to South Florida
for theirs.Its not the same but I will get to see faces of some of my Louisiana friends there as well.We are transplants.

We have had this happen several times. My husband and I will discuss a scripture during the week and the minister will either preach on the same scripture or mention it in a sermon. It has gotten so common that it is almost freaky.

Last week, on Easter, our pastor had picked out a song for the closing hymn but didn't realize that we already had that planned for earlier in the service. So my husband and I just chose a song that we liked and stuck it in for the closing hymn instead. It wasn't even one that was in our hymnal. We ran it by our worship leader ahead of time and got her ok, then put it in the Power Point. Complete surprise to the pastor.

The amazing thing about all of this is that every point that the pastor preached about last week was then included in the lyrics to the closing hymn (that he had never even heard before!)

Just another of God's little miracles. Isn't He amazing!

Sister Marge,
Isn't it great to know God cares for you enough to do such a beautiful thing?
One day before I was married on my job someone received a huge bouquet of flowers.I saw them and the thought crossed my mind,"I would love someone to give me flowers." Then I forgot about it.When I got home one of the young girls I took to Sunday school was racing to meet me down the street clutching a large brown paper bag.She opened it up and pulled out a huge
silk bouquet of flowers and said,"I brought these for you Sister Dana." That made my day.What a blessing when Jesus even cares about little things you think and desire.I am so glad that our God is alive.

Trouvere,

God is good this way! I was so worried this year that I wouldn't receive anything for Valentine's day...I was in a new place, left my old friends behind, and even lost a love in the past year, but while I was at work I received a fresh bouquet of flowers from a friend in Florida and a package from my sister and I felt so blessed/loved. God cares about the little things...those little things that mean so much.

Blessings, Rhoni
