"That He may set him with princes."-Psalm 113:8
    
    Our spiritual privileges are of the highest order. "Among princes" is the place of select society. "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." Speak of select society, there is none like this! "We are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood." "We are come unto the general assembly and church of the first-born, whose names are written in heaven." The saints have courtly audience: princes have admittance to royalty when common people must stand afar off. The child of God has free access to the inner courts of heaven. "For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father." "Let us come boldly," says the apostle, "to the throne of the heavenly grace." Among princes there is abundant wealth, but what is the abundance of princes compared with the riches of believers? for "all things are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's." "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Princes have peculiar power. A prince of heaven's empire has great influence: he wields a sceptre in his own domain; he sits upon Jesus' throne, for "He hath made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign for ever and ever." We reign over the united kingdom of time and eternity. Princes, again, have special honour. We may look down upon all earth-born dignity from the eminence upon which grace has placed us. For what is human grandeur to this, "He hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus"? We share the honour of Christ, and compared with this, earthly splendours are not worth a thought. Communion with Jesus is a richer gem than ever glittered in imperial diadem. Union with the Lord is a coronet of beauty outshining all the blaze of imperial pomp.

Raisels anyone??:??

 Ok I recieved a giveaway that I won in the mail today so thought I'd just show it off.


 I had never heard of Raisels before.  Have you??  I won them on Here and There blog 
well the samples came today.  four different flavors.
  •  Sour Orange Burst ~  Big Bang Sour taste
  •  Sour Lemon Burst ~ Out of this World sour taste
  • Sour Peach Pucker ~ Irresistibly loveable sour taste
  • Sour Apple Tko ~Rock 'em Sock 'em sour taste
So I had daughter sample a pack to sample.  She chose the sour orange burst


little skeptical at first
verdict is in
 Daughter, who doesn't like raisins:  "Oh, like gummys.  MMMMMMM  sugar, lots of it.  Pucker-power too"

Mom, who loves raisins:  Very sweet if you ask me almost too sweet.  I prefer plain old raisins.  Very fruity taste. 

Apple milder taste. "really taste like apple, apple peal and all," says daughter.
Lemon "nice and lemony, much like lemonade," from daughter who loves lemonade.  I thought they'd be more pucker power than the orange, but not so.
Peach could smell them the peach smell when you opened the shrink warp package.  Daughter says, "nice and sweet like a fresh peach"  peach is her favorite.  They really do taste like a peach.  I think I have to agree with daughter peach is my favorite with maybe apple close behind.

Can't tell they are raisins if you weren't looking at them.

Now we are on sugar-high.

The orange were definitely the most strongest, fruitiest, sweetest and pucker-power, coated in sugar.
 
There you have it folks.  Now you are going to have to go out and find some raisels or check out raisels on-line here.
