Therefore as you have re-

ceived Christ Jesus the Lord, so

walk in Him, having beenrooted

and now being built up in Him

and established in your faith,

just as you were instructed,

overowing with gratude.

Col. 2:6-7

One of my favorite stories of

thankfulness is told by Corrie Ten

Boom in her book, The Hiding

Place. (I highly recommend this

book if you havent read it.) She

and her sister, Betsie, had just

been transferred to the worst

German prison camp they had

seen yet, Ravensbruck. Raven-

bruck was extremely over-

crowed and ea-infested.

Every morning Corrie and her

sister would read their Bible andspend me in prayer. One parc-

ular morning they were reading

in 1Thessalonians. Verse 5:18

says In everything give thanks:

for this is the will of God in Christ

Jesus for you. Betsie told Corrie

to stop reading right now and

thank the Lord for every detail of

their new living quarters. Corrie

at rst atly refused to give

thanks for the eas, but Betsie

persisted. Finally Corrie sub-

mied to her pleadings. She

thanked God for living quartersand the eas.

As the months passed at Ra-

vensbruck, Corrie and Betsie

were surprised to nd how

openly they could hold Bible

studies and prayer meeng with-

out guard interference. It was

not unl several months later

that they learned the reason the

guards would not enter the bar-

racks was because of the eas. I

can see Corrie falling to her

knees and praising God for those

eas. I wonder how many of her

fellow prisoners came to the

Lord as they joined her in her

Bible studies.

Corrie Ten Boom had received

Jesus Christ as her Lord and Sav-

ior years before she wrote The

Hiding Place. She had learned to

walk in Him growing up in a

Chrisan home Holland. She had

been rooted and grounded in the

Lord as her family pracced their

faith by sheltering the Jews from

the Nazis during WWII. Her

overowing thankfulness and

gratude was the fruit of a life

paerned aer Jesus.

As I reect on Col. 2:6-7, 4

things jump out at me regardingour walk with the Lord:

1 We, like Corrie Ten Boom,

need to be rooted in the Lord.

Our roots need to go deep, an-

choring us, so when the storms

come we dont blow over. Roots

also seek nourishment for the

plant to keep it alive. You need a

good solid root system,

(foundaon) if you are to survive

the storms and droughts of life.

2- We need to be built up in Him.

Just as a plant with a healthyroot system grows, we also need

to grow and be strengthened in

the Lord to a greater faith, a

greater prayer life, and a greater

capacity to love others. We do

this by drawing close to Him, like

Corrie Ten Boom, through read-

ing our bible, prayer and sharing

our faith with others.

3 We need to be established in

the faith. We should eventually

grow into mature women of

God. 1 Peter 1:6-7 says In this

you greatly rejoice, though now

for a lile while, if need be, you

have been grieved by various

trials, that the genuineness of

your faith, being much more

precious than gold that perishes,though it is tested by re, may

be found to praise, honor, and

glory at the revelaon of Jesus

Christ, Corries faith was

strengthened in that horrible

prison camp as she saw God

sustain her, just as our faith

should be strengthened in the

midst of our circumstances as we

watch the Lord work in our lives.

4 We should at this me be

abounding with thanksgiving for

all that we have been blessed

with. We should be expressing

an overowing gratude for all

that He has done for us. We

should no longer be looking at

what we dont have but giving

thanks for what we do have.

Corrie Ten Boom thanked God

for the eas because it kept the

guards out of the barracks. I

dont know what youre going

through, but I do know That all

things work together for good to

those who love God, to those

who are the called according to

His purpose.

Corrie Ten Boom died in 1983 at

the age of 89 sll praising the

Lord. She wrote in her book

Each New Day Thank-you

Lord that I have eternity to thank

and praise you for your love.

Love, Sandie

GIVE THANKS

(I am always interested in the reason composers

write a particular piece of music. While research-

ing Henry Smith, I came across this biography

written by Mr. Francis Kong)

As a teenager Henry Smith played in a high

school band like many boys in the 1960s.

He says, I was playing things I wouldnt

play or sing now like Jimi Hendrix and all

that. Id rather not go into that. But while

in college, a spiritual revolution in his life

brought him to Richmond to attend Union

Theological Seminary.

God really touched my heart, he says.

Id been a Christian since I was a child,

but he changed my way of thinking.

Then his eyes went bad. In 1978, Henry

returned from seminary to work in his

home church as a layperson. He had to take

odd jobs to support himself as his careerchoices were limited by a degenerative eye

disease.

Nevertheless, he remembers being ex-

tremely thankful during that time in his

life. He had discovered that in the darkest

winter there was within him an invincible

summer.

One Sunday his pastor quoted 2 Corinthi-

ans 8:9, For you know the grace of our

Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich,

yet for your sakes he became poor, so that

you through his poverty might become

rich.

A paraphrase of this would be, He came to

become like us, to enable us to become like

Him.

Henry decided to write a song about it:

Give thanks with a grateful heart;Give thanks to the Holy One,

Give thanks because Hes given

Jesus Christ His Son.

And now, let the weak say, I am strong

Let the poor say I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us.

Give Thanks was published in 1986 by

Integrity Music and recorded on the album

Heal Our Land in 1989. Since then it has

been recorded around the world.

Henry eventually lost his sight, but not his

gratitude for Gods unfailing love.

He has written over 100 other songs to fit

Scripture passages. Today he runs Outback,

a recording studio in Mechanicsville, Vir-

ginia.

By Kelly Gardner

Recently I received two letters written by my great-grand

Aunt, Anna Reich Carver, who lived during the Civil War. Anna

Carver was at Hampton Hospital serving by caring for wounded

soldiers as one of two assistants to Clara Barton, founder of the

Red Cross and the first Free Public School. As I read the letters, I was

moved by the compassion and genuine love shown by my Aunt. As

we consider doing for others, do not think that your labor is in vain,

having no real value or is ineffective, but rather, remember to Let

your light so shine before men that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father in heaven.Matthew 5:16

Upper Merion/ February 6, 1865

Dear Friend,

I know you will forgive me for my long neglect,

for you know my time and labor has been given to Hamp-

ton Hospital. I suppose I need not write to you about our

labor there as Emma has.

My last visit there was on Christmas. I took din-

ner to that camp; they enjoyed it very much. I never

saw such suffering as there was at Hampton during the

latter part of summer. How I wished that you were

there to help us. We often spoke of you and your dear

husband. I assure you, I deeply sympathize with you in

your great loss. I know that loss can never be replaced,

but we must submit to the Lords will, although it seems

very hard.

I was in the city week before last and I called to

see your son. I was surprised to see him looking so well.I wish you could have him home. I invited him to go and

see my friend Mrs. Wiley who lives but a few squares

from the Hospital where he is. No doubt he will write to

you something about it.

Dr. McClellan was very kind to us. He placed us

at the New Camp where there was 1,200 of our sick and

wounded. Emma and I were the only two ladies that

were there for six weeks; the doctor put up two tents for

us. I took a stove and two barrels of flour with us and I

baked from twenty to thirty loaves of bread besides bis-

cuits nearly every day. I am sure I never worked harder.

It was a great pleasure to me to give our men something

they could eattheir gratitude paid me for all my labor.

When will these suffering times be over? I trust

that day will soon come when this cruel war shall be

ended. How I would like you to come and pay us a visit.

Cant you come and see your dear son and come up and

see us? I hope you will try. I have not seen Emma for a

couple of weeks, she was well. We are all well and hope

this may find you enjoying the same blessing. I received

several letters from Mrs. Pond, poor thing how she was

grieved about the loss of her son. She thought if she

could only have been with him and administered to his

wants, but while she was waiting on her brother in hislast hours, someone I trust was doing for him.

I must bring my letter to a close hoping to hear

from you soon. No more at present but remain.

Your Sincere Friend,

Anna Carver

Gratitude and Appreciationfor Others

How often do we look up to see where our blessings havecome from? Sometimes we need to spend more time inprayer thanking the Lord for the blessings we have already

received. It says in Ephesians 2:1 And you He made alive,who were dead in trespasses and sins. Are you thankful

that you are alive in Christ Jesus or do you walk aroundwith a heart full of ingratitude?

We can help our families to become more grateful byteaching them about the blessingsthat come from living in the UnitedStates of America.

We as individuals need to decideand model what is really importantto us. We have the opportunity toshow our children and grandchil-dren through prayer and our ac-tions, how to show gratitude by

how we behave. It says in Ephe-sians 2:4-5 But God, who is rich inmercy, because of His great lovewith which He loved us, even when we were dead in tres-passes, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you

have been saved)

One way we can show gratitude and appreciation for oth-ers is by remembering those who have served in the mili-tary and fought for our freedom. As children hear us voiceour gratitude, they will learn to understand the freedomwe have living in the United States; having the freedom tolove and worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The impact of living our life with thanksgiving and grati-tude will model for our children that without our freedom,

we will lose the right to pray openly, attend church andlead others to Jesus Christ.

As a military wife, I know how difficult it can be on the fam-ily to have my husband gone on deployment. I havewatched my husband lean on Jesus Christ while offeringsupport to comrades who have developed cancer and died

from being exposed to the garbage burn pitsin Iraq and Afghanistan.

One significant gathering that has given mea greater sense of appreciation for our mili-tary is by attending retirement dinners for those who havegiven their life to serving our country. It is a reminder tome of the sacrifice each individual has made; especially in

regards to family life.

If you need help getting started teaching gratitude andappreciation in your family, think about what your life waslike before Christ redeemed you. Tell how your life haschanged since you have become alive in Christ Jesus.

Take a moment and allow the Holy Spirit to ministerto you as you read and study Ephesians 2:1-10. Thinkabout how much Jesus Christ has shown His grace

and kindness towards us. For it is written, For weare His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for goodworks, which God prepared beforehand that we

should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10

God Bless You and Your Family!

HOW TO DEVELOP MORE GRATITUDE

AND JOY...

"Thankfulness is being grateful for what you have. It is an attitudeof gratitude for learning, loving, and being. It is appreciating the littlethings which happen around you and within you every day. It is having

a sense of wonder about the beauty of this world. It is being aware of

the gifts in your life." Did you know that by participating by comingto a Womens Koinonia or Retreat you can learn to develop more

gratitude and have more joy?

Womens MinistryBook of the Month

Choosing Gratitude

by Nancy Leigh DeMoss

We will begin our next book of the month, July 18,

2012; being off the first two weeks of July for Inde-

pendence Day and Vacation Bible School.

Choosing Gratitude by Nancy Leigh DeMoss is

a heart changing read! Dont be afraid to dive in with

both feet as it will help point you to scripture on how

to choose gratitude and lose the unthankful attitude.

Dont believe for one moment that Nancy

doesnt struggle just like the rest of us. I appreciated

her open and honest reflection on her own life struggle

with ingratitude. But, God is greater than our heart! It

says in 1 John 3:20-21 For if our heart condemns us,

God is greater than our heart, and knows all

things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we

have confidence toward God. You can have confi-

dence in knowing that even as we struggle in the area of

being thankful in all circumstances; God knows every-

thing and He is still in control.

Gratitude is a choice. We can either choose a

heart full of ingratitude and become angry, bitter and

cynical, or we can choose to be thankful, more loving,

more caring and more thoughtful.

The Blessing of Gratitude

by Rhonda Lippert

Get me behind the wheel of a car during rush hour or a shoppingcart at Costco at *any* hour, and my struggle with a bad attitude,

complaining and grumbling really get put to the test! I confess

(with shame) that complaining is an area of weakness for me. And

of course when this happens, my loved ones will suffer as

well. Sometimes I wish my mouth had a backspace key. However,

rather than beat myself up for my verbal failings, I go to my Heav-

enly Father with a repentant heart, and confess my sin.

"Out of the mouth the heart speaks" (Matt. 12:34).....but grum-

bling and complainingingratitudedoesnt have to be with

words.we can have ugly thoughts that are just as bad. Some-

times what we think doesn't make it all the way to our mouths.

Does it matter if we think it as long as we don't say it? Our Fatherknows our thoughts long before they get to our tongue. So yes,

our thoughts matter a great deal to God. Our hearts are "

deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked (Jer. 17:9).

We need to continually strive for a pure heart, to "be holy, for I

am holy" (Lev. 11:45, 1 Peter 1:16). The enemy is always throwing

his fiery darts at us, at our minds and thoughts. How do we com-

bat this? We have to stay connected to the Lord at all times!

Warren W. Wiersbe says, Gods people are commanded not to

complain (Phil. 2:14); therefore, complaining is a sin. When we

complain, we give evidence of unbelief in our hearts and a lack of

gratitude toward God. If we were truly giving thanks for all

things (Eph. 5:20), we would not be complaining. The best way

to overcome a complaining spirit is to accept Gods will by faith

and thank Him for His goodness, even if we dont see anything

good happening. The more wonderful we see Jesus to be, the

more we will be grateful to God for Him and His blessings.

According to Websters 1828 dictionary, gratitude is defined as an

emotion of the heart, excited by a favor or benefit received;

thankfulness. Have we received favor or benefit from God? You

bet!

While in prison, Paul wrote a letter to the church in Colosse. He

was concerned about the false teachings which had infiltrated the

Colossian church. In Colossians 2:6-7, the Lord tells us through the

pen of Paul, "Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord,

so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up

in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed,and overflowing with gratitude". (NASB) In these verses, Paul

was instructing the people to get back to what they knew. They

had started listening to and believing false teaching and had wan-

dered from the truth. Notice the word rooted in this verse. It

comes from the Greek word ridzo, which means to be firmly and

deeply rooted, making the object fixed, steady, stable, and strong.

This is the picture of a strong tree whose roots go down deep

and reach its source of nourishment. The tree is also held securely

in place by those roots, regardless of the weather or the environ-

mental opposition that comes against it. If your roots are securely

fixed in Jesus Christ, you will outlast every season, every foul cli-

mate, and every storm in your life. (Sparkling Gems, Rick Ren-

ner)

Psalm 1:3 uses the example of a tree to declare that when a person

is rooted in Gods Word, he is like a tree planted by the rivers

of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also

shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (KJV)

Being rooted in the Lord and rooted in His Wordfixed, steady,

stable and strong--is the key to remaining full of gratitude and

thankfulness. We need to put our minds on heavenly and eternal

thoughts, and not get caught up in the daily dilemmas that hit us

at every turn. I love Philippians 4:8 when I need this reminder:

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are

noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatev-

er things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there isany virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these

things. (NKJV)

And finally dear sisters in Christ, I would like to leave you with

this last nugget of encouragement.Be anxious for nothing, but

in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let

your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and

minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)

Colossians 2:6-7

Kindred Spirits in Christ ~ Sharing

FriendshipsBy Mary Jane Robinette

Excitement was joyful as registration opened and the long

awaited hour of 4:00 pm, June 1st had arrived. The laughter be-came contagious. The hellos echoed through the foyer. Armsheavy laden with luggage gave the gesture of promise for hugssoon to be shared. The women of Calvary Chapel Reno/Sparks,friends, relatives, sharing churches, began arriving at Lake Tahoefor our Womens Retreat 2012,Redeeming Love ~ The Book ofRuth. The essence of this beautiful love story was beginning tounfold. Kindred Spirits in Christ, sharing friendships old and new,were arriving with open hearts to seek the Lords message. Psalm115:12 The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us.

The same as years passed the clock was ticking far to fast andwe were into the evening worship, teaching and prayer. Our al-ways enjoyable Sandie Luitwieler opened the teachings with an

overview of the book of Ruth. She revealed to us the many waysreading the book of Ruth is like ripping open your gifts. Sheenriched us to understand that this book of love is a present in theOld Testament from God. She enlightened us to know that on aspiritual level, the book of Ruth is the most important book of thebible. The essential message she imparted to us is that the book ofRuth is a real picture of our loving Redeemer Jesus Christ andhow much He loves His church. The promise of Jesus is the lastgift God gave to us in the book of Ruth. She recounted the jour-ney Naomi, this bitter, mourning old woman shared with Ruth onthe road to Bethlehem. And with a sisters loving heart, Sandiereminded each woman there, that you can come back to Jesus. Itis never to late to come back. God is running to you now she said,reach out and come back to Him.

Kim Bowser reminded us how much Ruth was loyal and com-mitted to Naomi; but she also was committed to share the sameGod. Ruth was a refreshment to Naomi, as we are a refreshmentto our friends. She asked us to ponder this question to our self,What woman influenced me the most and that I wanted her Godto be my God? Ruth was real in her love and friendship. Naomiwas real in her love for God. Ruth found that same love when shemade Naomis God her God.

We also need to be true in our love and friendship to our sis-

ters-in-Christ. The women were all given a beautiful gift of friend-ship and love, a hand sewn fabric flower crafted by the ladies of

our Fruit of Her Hands Ministry. Each flower came in differentcolors just like flowers come fresh from the garden. Bright fabricflowers brought cheerful smiles to their faces.

Like Ruth we need to share in loyalty and commitment in ourfriendships with our sisters-in-Christ. We need to be each othersflowers, fresh from the garden and fragrant in sharing our love forJesus Christ. Ruth and Naomi were family, they were also friendsin heart. They'd been through so much together. They would nev-er part. Their love story was in Gods plan for all of us because itsecured the promise to come, our Redeeming Love, Jesus Christ.When there is trust, loyalty and love among friends, there is bless-ings of gratitude for each other. Ruth 1:16-17 But Ruth said:Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after

you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I willlodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. The LORDdo so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you andme.
