Hey, what's that aroung your neck?

Don’t know if you have teenagers yet and or if you just love jewelry and new fads. I think that there is a secret competition going on in the world to see how many necklaces and arm bracelets one person can get on themselves at one time. Being the optimist I am, the good thing I can see coming out of this fad is that if you are on the 8th story of a burning building and there is a fire you could tie them end to end and escape out the window to ground level. Ha,ha,ha,

Seriously, we women love to adorn ourselves with lovely jewelry for a night out with our husbands or an outing with the girls.

You know God’s Word has instructed us as well regarding the wearing of a particular necklace. It is the necklace of love, kindness, compassion (mercy) and faithfulness (truth).

Proverbs 3:3-4 tells us (NIV)

Let love (mercy) and faithfulness (truth) never leave you;
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablet of your heart
Then you will win favor and a good name
In the sight of God and man


He says bind them around your necks. In other words, don’t take them off! And know this, if mercy and truth are written on your hearts, those around you will see the necklace! Praise God that He graces us for all things! Our part is to YIELD!

Hope everyone is doing well and that you are faithfully sharing our website with others. We met some wonderful women and men this past week while attending an event for some of our missionaries. What a sweet time of meeting so many of you from across the seas and those so near. Can’t wait to see what God does with our contact.

Please remember to pray for one another daily and don’t forget our missionaries near and far as they are obedient to His call on their lives.

Get involved with Missions at your local church! And pray, pray, pray for Pure Joy regarding places of service, teams, giving, and going!

His,
vickie
