CALMNESS IN THE LORD

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 28:11

I will be moving very soon. When I read this verse it calmed me down. It's so comforting. I have to say I miss the kids, Daniel, Rebekah, Christian and Abby. the way they interact is amazing. Rebekah teaching Abby how to do ballet routines and Daniel teaching Christian boy stuff. Somedays I like to sit in my room and just listen to their conversations. Rebekah is alway singing, course her mother does too. Daniel can fix and put together just about anything. The most beautiful part of being here, is hearing all four children quote scripture and tell stories that are in the Bible. It is so wonderful to hear such young children know that much about scripture. The Lord has blessed them too with God fearing parents. I love them all.

WAKE UP WITH THE BIBLE

This morning I felt a need to say somethings. The Lord has complete control of my life, but I continue to sin. Complaining to the point of not knowing I am complaining about things that are none of my business. I read scripture more, but not as much I would like to. I don't sent a note of encouragement to someone who may need it. I don't take a dinner over to a mother (and family) who has had a hard day or just because I was thinking about them. Our speaker, Joe Reese, just puts it on the line!!! He got me to thinking. He said for every hour I spend watching television I should read my Bible for an hour (or more). Saying I am a christian is not enough. I need to talk and walk as a christian as the Lord tells me to through scripture. Being sick, tired or depressed is no excuse for me not to follow the Lord. I love the Lord with all my heart, but I need to show it, not just think it!!!!!
