Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #68

#68 - Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report

If you were following this blog in 2015 then you will be familiar with my "365 Days of Being Thankful" challenge.  I have missed reporting on my thankfulness since I finished my challenge last year, so I decided to at least give a weekly Thankfulness Report & include a Growth Report also.  Growth in our Christian walk, growth in the garden & growth on this blog.  Finally, I am also including a "Posts From the Past" feature - ENJOY!


This week I have been thankful for my garden and beautiful weather.  I am most thankful for God's strength.


"Dear Friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.  This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:  Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.  But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.  This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.  You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.  They are from the world and therefore speak from the view point of the world, and the world listens to them.  We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us, but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.  This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood." 
1 John 4:1-6
This post was part of my "Obedience" series - be sure to test every leader and doctrine that you follow.  Make sure that it is from God!"

We have at least half of the garden planted.  Most of the seeds have germinated and the little seedlings are growing wonderfully!
