Dear Friends,
This is indeed a time of great abundance. We view our world and our circumstances differently than others. When you read the word “abundance”, what was your first thought? Did you think of material things, or something else? I often say that we have everything we need and most of what we want. Abundance indeed! But, today, my cup runneth over with love and gratitude for each of you and the beautiful way you serve Him each and every week. Thank you for making Christ and His Church a priority in your busy lives. You truly inspire me and others by your presence and the gifts you share. May God continue to bless you abundantly today and every day. Peace, Scott

This Is A Time Of Abundance in your life. Your cup runneth overwith blessings. After plodding uphill for many weeks, you are now traipsing through lush meadows drenched in warm sunshine. I want you to enjoy to the full this time of ease and refreshment. I delight in providing it for you.
Sometimes My children hesitate to receive My good gifts with open hands. Feelings of false guilt creep in, telling them they don’t deserve to be so richly blessed. This is nonsense thinking, because no one deserves anything from Me. My kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it’s about believing and receiving.
When a child of Mine balks at accepting My gifts, I am deeply grieved. When you receive My abundant blessings with a grateful heart, I rejoice. My pleasure in giving and your pleasure in receiving flow together in joyous harmony.

Luke 11:9-11 9″So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 11″Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
Romans 8:32 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
