Praise the Lord Sisters, Whatever you want to call it. Praise party or a Praise get together. Why don't we have one? Oh I think it would be awesome. Send out invitations to the people that you know love to talk about the Lord. I mean He is their conversation. Tell them ahead of time, to come prepared to give their testimony on the greatest thing they think that the Lord has done for them. Their greatest praise report. This is a party where we talk about nothing but the Lord. Our total conversation that evening is all about Him. Giving Him praise. He is the focus. He gets all the glory. We're just going to share with each other how much we love Him, thank Him, and appreciate all that He does. He is the guest of honor. I believe God is going to love it, because it is all about Him. If we play a game, let it be a Biblical one. For example if we play Password, all the words that we use will be Biblical. No conversation about work, school, husband, wife, children, unless you are praising God for these things. The main reason for this party, is to uplift Jesus. The party could be like from five to nine. Serve a full course meal, or finger sandwiches, salad, dessert, and ice tea or soft drinks. We have a party for everything else, why not for Him. We have birthday parties, celebrating the birth of one another. We have Anniversary parties. We have baby showers. Retirement parties. Engagement parties. Why not have a party celebrating Jesus? Saints of God coming together in a small setting to uplift His Name. I talked it over with hubby and we both are excited about it. We're going to do it when we come back from our vacation. Now if your conversation isn't normally about Jesus, you may have a hard time hosting. The hostess job is to keep it going. Create questions to ask. The hostess must remember that Jesus is the topic. Not the main topic, but the only topic. Do you know the more we talk about the Lord, the more excited we'll get about serving Him? We'd stay out of trouble if our minds were focused more on Him. He is what we live for. He is the one we will be with, when we leave this earth. When we share our testimonies with each other, it encourages us. God is awesome. This party will be an opportunity to hear, the many many testimonies of others, that you would not normally hear. In church we can't tell it all, but at this party we can at least hear more than we usually do. Think about it! Talking about Jesus. Sharing testimonies about Jesus. Uplifting Jesus. Praising Jesus. Oh what a time. What a time. What a time. I'm going to do it!
Love you, Rose
