| TNIV Scripture for Friday, July 4, 2008 [Isaiah 40:28-30]
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; Isaiah 40:28-30 TNIV Bible |

For this poor widow there was no Social Security, no pension, no monthly check she would be receiving now that her husband was gone. Widows were quite vulnerable. Jesus even indicated her poverty, when he said that those two coins were all she had. If indeed, she did give all she had, she must have done it trusting that God would provide her with her daily bread. That's a tremendous amount of trust.
Some of you may have read George S. Clason's book, THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON. The most important teaching in Clason's book is that the person wanting to be rich should give away ten percent of everything he or she earns. Why? According to Clason there are some deep subconscious, psychological principles.
The first is that you should put back what you take out. The second is that the act of giving ten percent creates value for yourself and others. But I was drawn to his third reason for giving ten percent away. When we do that, according to Clason, it says to the world and to our own subconscious mind that there is more than enough, that we expect life to keep providing what we need.
This poor widow trusted that there was more than enough in God's storehouse and that God would provide. That's the kind of trust we need to have.
Dear God, thank you for taking care of my needs. Help me to trust you more. Amen.

Every summer my Mom and Dad would pack the car with food, a grill, blankets to set upon and five kids. Arriving at Lake Manawa, everything was unpacked and we kids took off to make our own fun.
Here are a few ideas for fun during your next picnic:
Kite flying
Badminton
Croquet
Bird watching (bring binoculars and a local field guide)
Soccer
Charades
Horseshoes
Scrabble
Hula hoops
Now, you've got games, concentrate on food. Here are only a few of the many ideas you'll find right here on THE CHURCH LADIE.
No picnic would be complete without an inviting spread of fun and festive food. This is not the time for stodgy fare. Keep it easy with kid-friendly foods that can be eaten without utensils:
Sandwiches
A tray of fresh vegetables with dip
Slices of watermelon
Chips
Corn on the cob
Grilled burger and hot dogs
Cookies
Don't forget to bring plenty of napkins, paper or plastic plates and cups, bottles of water, and a selection of juices or sodas.
