“Have a cookie…you’ll feel better,” says the Oracle to Neo in a movie that takes place within a fictional computer created world. Hillside Farms in Norco is famous for their ginger cookies and their annual Craft Fair. Join us this weekend, visit, shop…and have a cookie.
Sherry and I will be here in Norco through Sunday. 3475 Hillside Ave, Norco. Come by and say hello. Hope to see you here!
While the Pilgrims came to America almost 400 years ago for a more tolerant religious environment, most came to conduct business. Like England, all 13 colonies, had a “state” or mandated religion as part of its charter or business contract. All colonies chose the Church of England a their state religion – except two. One was Catholic, Maryland and one was Baptist, Rhode Island. The Baptists of Rhode Island were progressive and allowed religious freedom for all who lived within there borders. It was the Baptists of Rhode Island that later insisted on the first amendment that gives us religious freedom and prohibits the government from imposing a “state” religion.
Christianity, true Christianity, makes all people free and equal in the eyes of God. He gave us free will to either accept or reject Him. Do not reject God because of the choices you or others have made. Do not reject God because others have perverted His message of love.
I am most thankful for my God and His love for me to provide His Son Jesus to be my Savior. Keep and open mind and be thankful. “In every thing give thanks.” I Thes 5:18
I looked forward to the dentist as a child, not for the treatment, but for the office magazines. He had a children’s magazine that included a picture with unusual objects “hidden” within the bigger picture. Can you find Sherry hidden in the “bigger” picture.
One thing that is never hidden rom us is God and His love for us. With so much hate and bitterness in the world – much of it right here – we rejoice in being thankful for God’s bigger picture of love.
Friday though Sunday we will be in plain sight in Norco at Hillside Farms for their annual craft fair. Avoid the crowds and stress. Come out to Hillside Farms and see many people selling their handmade art and craft. See you there.
Hope your Thanksgiving is blessed!
