4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillipians 4:4-9

OCC Shoeboxes and Honorary "Tia"

Tonight I rejoice in the exciting privilege of filling a shoebox gift for Operation Christmas Child. I seriously can't contain myself when I'm picking out all the fun things to fill the box. And tonight it was especially fun because there were at least 3 other people/families at Dollar Tree filling up their boxes as well. I'm pretty sure none of us were from the same church, yet we were all taking part in sharing the love of Jesus all over the world. Such a perfect, tangible picture of His church coming together to be the church He's called us to be.

I also rejoice in spending time hanging out in "the front house" at my place, spending time with a very special family. I especially love being able to "love on" their kiddos and the fact that I was labeled "Tia Robyn" twice in the last 2 days, by different parts of that very special family. So fun :)
