"Have faith in God"
Mark 11:22
C. H. Spurgeon says, "Faith is that which enables the soul to march victoriously along the road of the commandments. Love can make the soul move more swiftly, but it's faith that carries it. With faith you can do all things, without faith you will neither have the inclination nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you would find the people who serve God the best, you must look for those with the most faith.
Would you be comfortable and happy?
Would you enjoy Christianity?
Would you be a cheerful Christian and not a gloomy one?
Then 'have faith in God.'"
Still counting beyond "1000 Gifts."

Enjoyed reading through your list and the pure maple syrup caught my eye. Do you order it from someone locally? Also wanted to say that you have a beautiful Bible. I don't think I have ever seen one like that.
Thank you new friends. A friend from our church gets our syrup for us. Her dad brings it from Ohio, I believe almost as soon as it is bottled. We are in Athens, if you don't have another source, I can put in an order. We are getting 1 or 2 gallons. Email me at faithfamily6@gmail.com. If you are talking about the book with the 100 gifts book, that is a journal with a cross on it. I count my 1000+ gifts in it. The Bible in the pic below is an NASB Inductive Study Bible. I have a red open cover on it. Thank you again for reading.

Now I realize that is your journal. Love it, my girls journal all the time and have found much enjoyment from writing. Thank you for letting me know about the syrup. A friend is going to try tree tapping so we may have some syrup but if not I may get back with you about that. I enjoy real maple syrup so much. I also meant to comment on your daughters blog about Upward. That was such a nice idea with the Valentine candy. Wish we had done something like that. Our church does Upward Basketball for the Bradley County area. My husband and oldest daughter are the coaches for our 2 oldest boys teams. Upward is a great outreach ministry for our church. Hope you all were not affected by the recent storms. Have a nice week!! Blessing, Missy
The kids have really enjoyed coaching in Upward. They always like doing something nice for their players. It is really sweet. One of the families from their team just joined the church and another family of Upward joined as well. Thank you and you are entered in the giveaway! Have a blessed day.
Always Experiencing Him,
Jody
