Today was a busy but really great day. We had our 6th Annual Ladies Luncheon at our church. We had about 60 ladies total come and fellowship. This luncheon was designed to minister to the specific needs of women. The goal is of course for all to come to know Jesus Christ and grow in character. Basically, several ladies in our church volunteer to decorate and host a table of 6 ladies. We can base our table design on a scripture, inspirational song, etc. It is a lot of fun and quite a challenge. There are also 3 judges assigned to vote on the tables and appoint a 1st and 2nd place winner. All the ladies that attend vote for the "People's Choice" award. We always give out lots of door prizes, have great food catered and have a special speaker. Our speaker was Reda Cowart from OR. She and her husband do ministry in some of the ranches out west. She is a cowgirl at heart. She has been our speaker since the inception of the luncheon and is a really funny Godly woman. We had a great lesson today on being the woman God created us to be and not trying to be someone we are not called to be. It is really easy as women to look at another mother, wife, etc. and say "boy, I wish I could be as good as her at this or that". Yet God created us each with a unique personality and special gifts. It was a good reminder to relax and focus on what really matters in life: Continue to grow in the Lord through the word and time with him, walk in the gifts he has given me, and serve my family and friends. Here are some pictures of today's lunch. Love you all!
