Britty and Debs, you too are too sweet.


God's Blessings be upon all my dear friends here in this coffeehouse. I must skip out on the coffee for now for I am going to sleep. Good Night and stay cool in this warmer weather we've been having God Bless!!!

hey everyone...especially sneaky but very sweet Britty. . Got the email while I was at work and read it during a quick break, it helped put a smile on my face. Thank you, now must go follow through...

Good for you feralcatlady and madamx

hi Britty,
and as I said I was thinking of it as I was on this site so I thought it a sign :) to share it with my fellow Christian coffee house goers. Always try to follow my gut...because usually its God trying to get an idea through me ;).

Aye the song is a precious one in my heart that I hold dear and always remember.

awww, sorry Tiffany, You sent me an email and I hadn't checked the community forumn first before I replied. If you go to...
http://www.presbyterianyouthtriennium.org/
The thing about this is they do NOT have to be Presbyterian to go. Its open, like most presbyterian churches, themselves, to all and everyone who want to go. Now our church helped us to go back in 2001 and I don't know how they do it now. But the site should be able to at least give you an idea. It says 2007 in the web page title, and this is the most recent one. so the next sadly won't happen until 2010. But you can go to www.pcusa.org or any christian youth site to find similar things for Christian youth. Hope this helps tiffany. I'm, soon, going to try to start volunteering again for similar things. I may even, if I have a chance to, to go to the next one as a chaperon...I'll finally be old enough to go without having to sign up for something has a worker...etc.

-With God's Blessings

Okay think...5000 plus people, mostly teenagers ages 13 to 18 in one auditorium and 1000 in another, with a few adults mixed in to keep us in line. We've just finished another night service and its our communion night. Now, you ask how do you get 6000 plus teenagers and chaperons to share one communion. You set the communion outside at the university's fountain area and you start a song...Imagine this song started sung in the two separate auditoriums...quietly...over and over again. By all these people...all these "youngsters"...as we quietly and slowly parade out to the fountain area...meeting up with the other auditorium together singing this song...even adding a round and echoes to it and adding beautiful ad lib to it...

"Lord Prepare Me...
To Be a Sanctuary
Pure and Holy
Tried and True

With Thanksgiving
I'll be a living
Sanctuary
For You"

A short song, but beautiful in its meaning. This was done at the Presbyterian youth triennium back in July of 2001. I was going to be a senior in high school. I knew God. Prayed to Him occasionally, loved my church...but didn't really KNOW Him...truly in my heart until this week. I'll remember that week forever. It was lots of fun...but its the beautiful moments like six thousand teens and about only a sixth of that adults...singing quietly, peacefully such a powerful little song that truly touched me. God really works in wondrous ways.

I needed to tell that story. Because I thought of it tonight as I was on here and figured that a sign. I know that song always helps me...you can look it up in an hymnal its probably in there...called "Sanctuary". Its always helped me.

Two months later, after the triennium and me coming closer to God in a way I had never imagined before that week...two months, almost to the day, September 11th happened. Having God closer to me after that week in July helped soooooo much during those rough times our nation and world went through and is still going through.

Besides wanting to share the story I also want to note that if you have a child whose interested in camp or a large group thing, if its something good and appropriate...try your best to get them to it. That week at the triennium I believe truly changed my life and I'll be forever grateful for the having the chance to go.

I'm doing well. A little stressed at work but remembering as much as possible to pray.

And thank you Britty on that last comment. God Knows I'm definitely seeking such a man.

Britty!!!!!! that was soooooo wonderful and precious. . I hope everyone finds a God Blessed love like that in their life.

hugs
((((feral))))

Hi Debbie

Welcome to JSH...AA
We do admit we are all addicted and NO we do NOT want to end.

Kudos to all who are addicted

NO life, just work, back to working at an amusement park..about 70 hours a week. But lol nope I'm still addicted to JSH, it was great to see this topic near the top of my list again.
I've been meaning to search it out.

WELL time to get ready for work. I'm hearing Cedar Point rush hour outside my window which means I have to leave earlier then usually (about thirty minutes) just to drive into five minutes to work...only about a mile away.

Yeys for day off coming tomorrow and more time to check out JSH again

wow I leave for a couple of days and you are already on the tenth page of the third group for this topic...last time I checked you were on page forty-nine and that was only last monday

I'll have to catch up on the rest of the convo later, but I wanted to say hi. And a God's Blessings to all. I'll be catching up on convo again tonight or tomorrow as I'm finally coming into a day off. Its been a long week and I'm always grateful for this forumn to come to for those reminders that us humans forget every once in awhile.

God Bless
and ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) to all


Thinking I'm needing a cup of joe today,

Of course we'll pray for you Christine. All walks of life deserve prayer. And we love all our patrons of the coffeehouse here...lol sorry feralcat and britty for sounding like I own the place...I can say I work in the merchandise shop, you gotta buy your coffee mug somewhere.

Anyway I digress. You're in my prayers, both you and your daughter Christine, hikerchick. ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Happy Mother's Day to all

and God's Blessings to wouldee and Britty caught up with some of the talk, poetry and other writings since last time on here. (((((hugs))))) thank you for always have some kind words I can come and read and be reminded.

Stopping by for a visit and a relaxing Chai Tea. ...Been busy with work...getting an amusement park store ready for opening day is hard work...but of course I enjoy it.

Wishing all a Blessed weekend.

Thank you Britty for that wonderful "Treasures in You" piece. I posted it on a couple of my profile sites for my friends because I know some need to read it...not sure if they will but hopefully...

Wishing you all a blessed week
