Pizza Ranch Serves

Have you ever taken a break from your fast-paced life to look around at what God has created? To be awed by God's creation, you don't have to go to the Grand Canyon or the Tropics at dusk to truly be in awe of God.

I’m an Enneagram 1, which is “The Perfectionist”. Some characteristic traits are being conscientious & ethical, having a strong sense of right & wrong, always striving to improve things but fear making mistakes and well-organized, orderly and detail ordered. Now you know exactly who I am because this is me to a T 😊

My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him.

The Pizza Ranch in Waukesha, WI continues to be a pillar of hope for their community. Last year the city experienced turmoil when a Christmas Parade turned tragic, storms devastated the area in July, and COVID continued to shock local charities, schools and organizations with closures and limited activities. #WaukeshaStrong became their anthem and the Pizza Ranch has stepped up to the plate on many occasions to make sure all are welcome and taken care of.

In our fallen human state, we are incapable of the perfect love that our hearts desire. Christ, however, has set the example for us and described how we should love others in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you recognize today as a day to celebrate or not, something that IS worth celebrating is the truth that God loves YOU. I love this reminder from Ephesians 3: 17B-19,

This morning we’re looking at Mark 4:1-21, which is about the parable of the soils. Most often this parable is seen as a salvation passage. In other words, Christians are the result of seeds falling on good soil. BUT, we’re going to look at it from a different perspective today. We’re going to look at it as a daily experience for each of us who claim Christ in our life.

Have you identified your power word for the year? Maybe after reading this question the thought in your mind is "what is a power word"?

Shout out to the Gillette team as they had a great start to their impact in their community!

Did you know that God created you on purpose and for a purpose?

As we are well into our 2nd month of 2022, I wanted to ask you a question. . .where are you at with identifying your purpose?

This week on pizzaranchserves.com there have been posts on gratitude, and they have really hit me. Ephesians 5:20 talks about having gratitude to God in everything. It’s a key verse in the Book of Ephesians so, it’s not just a good idea. The Lord is instructing us to do this, to make gratitude an intentional habit. Gratitude is an act of obedience.
