Studying the gospel is like-
Catching a double rainbow;
Each drop of wisdom reflects light-
Hinting there is more to see and know!

They Gave Up Their Christmas
The gift of Christmas isn't wrapped in things It is found as you put people first Serving others for the joy it brings Remembering those who hunger and thirst
Who'll freely help the Lord's vinyard Pruning it well on Christmas day Storing up for those who'll be hit hard When a disaster comes their way
This is my gift to the Christ child It brings great joy to my heart Giving to Him from my time Unto others, doing my part
I have worked this vinyard! The rows go on forever- it seems on the hottest summer day. Taking hours for large groups to get to the end. You go out early and hope to end before noon. Inevitably you'll cut a finger- or worse find a spider. You'll hear members talking all around. When a ward finishes early- they don't leave- but go on to help. Some have traveled well over an hour to get there. They come in small numbers and work the hardest. It is not easy laying down the grapes. You cannot step near the paper. It will make a deep footprint and if that rare rainstorm comes the rain will puddle and not run off. The grapes will mold. It is a day to remember! Now, to go out in the winter- there is fog or frost. Only the men go- I thought. And on Christmas Day. That is amazing!
Hey kelly, my name is Sandra. I read several blogs on religion and prayer and I've i feel like I've ended up here once before. I ran across this prayer exchange website and I haven't had the chance to ask my Church what their stance is on it.
I'm a bit confused, I think that there are some benefits to a site like this but some Christians might find it questionable.
When in prayer we are gathered God promises to be there also Before uttered, the words are heard As our minds are lit to see and know
As we are all in need There is much to say Humbly, on our knees For each other we do pray
Should we pray by rote That is not come of spirit Only the walls take note Naught is there to hear it
Should we pray for pay That one might advance Naught brightens much that way For our minds miss askance
Matthew 18:19-20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The website is http://www.prayermarket.com/.
If you're looking for a topic to blog about, I would be curious to hear your thoughts and know what your stance is on this type of prayer service.
I have your blog in my feed reader so i'll check back, God bless

That is not come of spirit
Only the walls take note
Naught is there to hear it

Naught brightens much that way
