 Marcia's Poem of the Week 3.25.2022 Matthew 7:24-29 NLT  “ Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. ” BE ESTABLISHED Matthew 7:24-29 NLT Read Jesus’ words, And practice His walk, And wisely build, Your house on rock, When the storms come, And the streams flow, Your house will stand, As torrential rains blow.   Ignore Jesus’ words, Heed not His command And foolishly build, Your house on sand, When the storms come, And the streams flow, Your house will fall , As torrential rains blow.   Marcia Riehle May 2015   Poem for my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah   TOUGH DECISIONS Luke 16: 1-15   May we not be slothful, May we work for good, May we use what we have, To love o...

Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. 3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” 5 But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing.
