Freshwater

Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.

Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...

Kohl's!

In case I haven't mentioned this before, Kohl's and Mardel are my absolute favorite stores.  I cannot think of a store I enjoy more (other than unlimited funds in a nice tack and feed store).  I have found so many amazing deals at Kohl's throughout the years.  I think one of my best scores ever may have been in June of 2009 in Weatherford, Texas.  We bought school clothes for 7 kids plus 2 adults,$1000 worth, for $185 once we rang up my clearance prices, plus my extra 30% off!  


I regress, because it's that time of year again!  I just got my 30% off coupon in the mail, and we finally got a Kohl's last year!  I am so excited to go spend some money ;).  No, I'll just see if I can find some great deals!
