Hi Friends,
I hope you all enjoyed a
Happy Mother's Day
And are walking joyfully through this new week
I stopped by one of our local Good Will stores today
I found this Longaberger Heart Basket
Longaberger baskets are signed
This one is from 2005
It is the Valentine Sweetheart Basket
It is in excellent shape
And still has the plastic separated liner
And guess what I paid for it?
$2.25
Yes, that's correct $2.25
I checked on ebay and found the same piece for $85.00
Not planning on selling it
But I was Happy to know I got a smokin' deal
AND...In other news
Some of you may know that I've had a desire
To become a Pastor for Many years
I don't necessarily want to lead a church
But I've wanted to head up women's programs
Be able to baptize and teach Bible studies etc.
It is true that many churches do not recognize women as Pastor's
But some do
Many years ago I began taking classes to become a Pastor
But I never finished, however I always wished I had
After Mark passed away I let many of my dreams die with him
Yet in recent months I have begun to feel led to
Become involved in ministry again
SO,
I registered with a National Church
AND...
I just received my Credentials in the mail
I am a legal, licensed, registered Minister
I can marry, bury, baptize, etc
I received my certificate, license and clergy parking permit
Most people won't think this is a big deal
But friends
I DO
This is a Happy Day for Me
Now, may I encourage You to
Find Happiness in something today
Congratulations, Cindy! Great find too!
